Manchester City take to the field in Porto on Saturday night knowing they can make history for their club by lifting their first ever Champions League trophy.

Pep Guardiola’s side have been relentless since the turn of the year both domestically and in Europe, so Chelsea face an uphill battle to turn over the English champions.

That being said, they come into this one having beaten Man City twice since mid-April and Thomas Tuchel will take great heart in those performances.

Midfield sensation N’Golo Kante is also set to return to the team, a huge boost ahead of their first Champions League final since they won the competition in 2012.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the huge match:

When is it?

The match kicks off at 8:00pm GMT on Saturday 29 May.

Confirmed line-ups

Man City XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko; Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Chelsea XI: Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell; Mount, Havertz, Werner

Odds

Manchester City: 10/11

Draw: 12/5

Chelsea: 10/3

Prediction

Manchester City will go into this one as overwhelming favourites, particularly when you consider Chelsea had a very difficult end to the season with their FA Cup final defeat and loss to Aston Villa on the final day of the Premier League. Thomas Tuchel will definitely try to keep things tight and hit Pep Guardiola’s side on the break, but City should have enough to secure their first Champions League trophy. 1-0 Man City.
