Chelsea and Manchester City are squaring it up at Estadio Do Dragao in Porto, Portugal, for the Uefa Champions League final trophy on Saturday evening.
Both teams arrived in Portugal on Thursday and have been training ahead of the historic mouthwatering clash. Manchester City are sweating over the match fitness of German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, while Chelsea is monitoring the fitness of Ngolo Kante and Andreas Christensen.
The two teams have played three times this season with Man City winning a first leg of the English Premier League 3-1 and Chelsea prevailing in a second leg and FA Cup semis with 1-0 and 2-1 wins respectively.
Pep Guardiola will be hoping to win his third UCL title with Man City after having won it twice with Barcelona. Thomas Tuchel on the other hand will be hoping to win it for the first time after having lost the final against Bayern Munich with PSG last year.
Chelsea have won the trophy once back in 2012 and are making the final for the third time having lost to Manchester United on penalties in their first ever final in 2008.
Man City are hoping to lift a maiden title after losing a semifinal to Tottenham Hotspurs two years ago. The match will kick off at 10 pm East African Time or 9 pm Central African Time.
