Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, from Bilbao. Kick-off is at 8pm. There is a lot at stake here, with not only a trophy, which would be Spurs’s first since 2008, but Champions League qualification for two teams that have really struggled in the Premier League. At 16th and 17th place in the league, it’s not the strongest teams they’ve had in their history, to put it mildly, but it makes the game all the more intriguing.
The starting line-ups will follow when they are available, but for now here are the travelling squads. Which include previously injured players Joshua Zirkzee and James Maddison.
Tottenham squad:
Guillermo Vicario, Antonin Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Callum Olusesi, Damola Ajayi, Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Mikey Moore, Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, Son Heung-Min, Mathys Tel, Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Dane Scarlett, Will Lankshear.
