How Manchester City, Inter Milan Could Line Up in Highly-Anticipated Champions League Final

• Pep Guardiola will tonight pit his wits against Simone Inzaghi in the Champions League final
• Guardiola is chasing his first title with Manchester City, while his counterpart is gunning for the first-ever
• Inter Milan will have to choose one of Romelu Lukaku or Edin Dzeko upfront

All eyes will be focused at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium on June 10 when Manchester City line up to face Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Manchester City head into the clash as overwhelming favourites after another stellar season that saw them win a domestic double. A win in Istanbul would see them complete the historic treble.

Inter Milan might be the unfancied side here, but they have the wherewithal to hurt Pep Guardiola's side. Head Coach Simone Inzaghi is a cup finals specialist with a clean record of 8 out of 8. However, he will face a whole different prospect altogether in Europe's elite competition.

Guardiola's side made light work of German opposition ahead of their run to the final. They finished first in Group G ahead of Borussia Dortmund before beating RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich in the round of 16 and quarterfinals stages, respectively. They then admonished the ghits of last season by seeing off record winners Real Madrid in the semis.

Inter Milan probable lineup

The Nerazzuri finished second in their group behind Bayern Munich before seeing off Portuguese sides Porto and Benfica in the round of 16 and quarterfinals. They then swept their cross-city rivals AC Milan to return to the Champions League final for the first time since 2010.

Mkhitaryan's fitness issues probably mean that Marcelo Brozovic will be deployed at the base of the midfield to allow Hakan Calhanoglu to roam forward. Inzaghi will also face the dilemma of who to partner Lautaro Martinez up front between Romelu Lukaku and Edin Dzeko.

Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Dimarco, Calhanoglu; Martinez, Dzeko
