CHRIS SUTTON’S FORM GUIDE MAN CITY (4-3-3)

-

EDERSON

The world’s best ballplayin­g goalkeeper right now. Oh, and he’s fairly good at saving shots when called upon, too. City’s Golden Glove winner.

KYLE 8.5 WALKER

A real Speedy Gonzales down that right wing. He flies forward as quickly as he tracks back when there’s defending to do.

JOHN 8.5 STONES

If there was an award for most improved player of the season, Stones would win it. He’s been key to City’s success.

RUBEN DIAS 9.5

September 27: City lose 5-2 to Leicester. September 29: Dias signs. What an impact he’s had. Easily the Premier League’s Player of the Year. OLEKSANDR 8 ZINCHENKO 24-year-old’s ability to play under pressure has seen him win his manager’s trust. Provided stiff competitio­n for Joao Cancelo.

BERNARDO 8.5 SILVA

A starter in all of City’s Champions League knockout ties en route to this final because he’s so influentia­l in that midfield.

FERNANDINH­O 8

Those ageing legs are still reliable! Started the FA Cup final semifinal, Carabao Cup final and bound to get the nod again tonight.

ILKAY GUNDOGAN 9

Vitally important to City over this campaign. He’s their top scorer, having added an exciting edge to his game. Who needs a striker anyway?

RIYAD MAHREZ 9

He’s popped up with some pivotal goals in the Champions League this season, and he’s as likely as anyone to bag the winner tonight.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE 9

An elite player who Chelsea will fear. Whether in midfield or as a false nine, he’s effective wherever and can ping that killer pass.

PHIL FODEN 9

He’s come of age, he’s got confidence by the bucket load, and he’s ready to make his mark on this Champions League final.
