Chelsea vs Man City line-ups: Predicted XIs for Sunday's EFL Cup Final clash at Wembley

Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is a doubt for this afternoon's League Cup final with Manchester City due to a hamstring injury.

Willy Caballero could deputise against his former club if Kepa, who missed Thursday's Europa League win over Malmo, is not deemed fit.

David Luiz, Eden Hazard, Gonzalo Higuain and Marcos Alonso did not play against Malmo but should come into the side at Wembley, while full-back Davide Zappacosta and winger Pedro could be in the squad following illness.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have doubts over John Stones, Gabriel Jesus, Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph.

Defender Stones (groin) and striker Jesus (hamstring) will both be assessed after missing the midweek Champions League win at Schalke.

Defender Mendy continues to struggle with a knee problem and midfielder Delph has had a number of niggles and suffered illness in recent weeks. Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Achilles) is out long term.

Chelsea vs Man City line-ups: Predicted XIs

Chelsea XI: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Willian, Higuain, Hazard

Man City XI: Muric, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero
