Manchester City talisman Kevin De Bruyne could be the difference against Chelsea in the Champions League final. Despite being plagued by injuries, the Belgian has had another fabulous campaign for Manchester City, one that could get better on Saturday.

The Belgian possesses excellent technique, has impressive passing prowess, and his hold-up play is second to none. Manchester City will look to De Bruyne for inspiration against Chelsea. His return of ten goals this season suggests De Bruyne could be a goalscoring threat on his day.

De Bruyne was the Man of the Match in the Round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals. If he produces an encore in the final, Manchester City will fancy their chances of winning the biggest title in their history.

Chelsea's player of the season, Mason Mount, was their standout performer in the Premier League. So the Blues will look to him to deliver in the biggest game of their season.

At just 22, Mount will do his burgeoning reputation no harm by producing a big performance against Manchester City.

Mount has been at the top of his craft this season and could alter the course of a match with his ability to split the opposition rearguard with inch-perfect defence-splitting through-balls.

Despite his brace on the last day of the Premier League season, Sergio Aguero is unlikely to start against Chelsea on Saturday. But the Argentine, who will be playing his last game for Manchester City in a successful decade-long stint at the Premier League champions, is almost certain to play some part in the game.

Aguero has a phenomenal record against Chelsea, scoring 15 goals in 22 games, the joint-most he has managed against a single opponent, along with Newcastle United. So he will fancy his chances of another productive outing on Saturday.

His brace on the final Premier League matchday suggests he has found his form at the right time. Aguero would want to end his Manchester City career on a high by winning the biggest title of his career. Chelsea have been suitably warned.
