KEY PLAYERS MAN CITY: Riyad Mahrez has been the key player and has netted important goals in the semi-fianls against the PSG. He has a total of 4 goals to his name so far in the competition.
Phil Phoden the young prodigy from Man City has made himself a key player for Guardiola's team, with the skills and command on ball Chelsea would not want him to have a good game.
Ilkay Gundogan, in the absence of City playmaker Kevin De Bryune stepped up and has been the top goal scorer for the team in the Premier league, the German playmaker is in the form of his life and would like to continue the same in the Finals against Chelsea.
Ederson, Well if we are talking about Man City's key player you cannot miss out on their GK Ederson, with the passing range this keeper has he is no less than a outfield player and is the 12th men for City on the field. Not only he is good with his passing he can take penalties and even save one.

He is favourite of his Manager Thomas Tuchel, the manager said Kante is his "dream player". Such are his qualities.
Mason Mount, While City may have Phoden. Chelsea themselves have young prodigy Mason Mount who has been the best attacking threat for the Chelsea team. Just 22-years old he is already pulling string in the midfield and will have huge responsibility in midfield to step up against City.
A.Rudiger, the German defender has had a drastic change in his play and is currently amongst the top Central defender in the world, he will have a lot of work to do against the attacking City team which will keep him on his toes, but do mind the German does score some important goals and you can't count him out.
Prediction for the Game: Though Chelsea has a History in the competition, dramatic wins and the triumph of 2011/12. Man City are looking certain favourites to win the final. Reason being Guardiola cannot be loosing after making it into the Final. City need it more than Chelsea, a win in final will mark the emergence of new European powerhouse and yet another English club. Chelsea will have their share of good moments in the game but City will win it by 2-1.
