Start of match
-
PRVWWerner threatens from the inside left by Albiol does enough to shepherd him out of play, the ball going out off the Chelsea man last.
-
PRVWBoth captains have had the coin toss, Chelsea to kick us off.
-
PRVWCaptains Kante and Albiol carry their respective trophies out for the displays on the side of the pitch.
-
PRVWPlayers are about to enter the field!
-
PRVWAfter plenty of time warming up, players return to the dressing rooms to prepare for tonight's match. 10 minutes to go until kick-off!
-
PRVWIt's been mostly sunny today in Belfast, the temperature a mild 17º.
-
PRVWJust a reminder that extra-time WILL be in play tonight if the two sides are level after 90 minutes. If there is still deadlock after 120, then we will go to a penalty shoot-out.
-
PRVWSergei Karasev of Russia will be tonight's match official, with German Marco Fritz on VAR duties.
-
PRVWTaking a look at tonight's captains, Kante will lead the Blues out in the absence of Azpilicueta, Jorginho and Thiago Silva. Raul Albiol will be on skipper duties for the Yellow Submarine.
-
PRVWAlberto Moreno starts slightly further up the pitch in midfielder, although could move back as part of a back three to match Chelsea's formation, should Emery need to do so.
-
PRVWEmery is without danger man Samu Chukwueze who is still out injured following surgery on his leg back in May. Villarreal will look to Dia and Yeremy to provide the spark, while Alcacer could prove an instant impact of the bench.
-
PRVWLooking over to Villarreal, there's no such rest for Spaniard's Gerard Moreno and Pau Torres, who both start and will likely be two of Villarreal's most important players this evening.
-
PRVWWith a wealth of options up front, and still with the impending arrival of Romelu Lukaku, Tuchel goes for a trio of Ziyech, Werner and Havertz up top. They are likely to all have fairly fluid roles this evening, interchanging positions up front as and when they see fit.
-
PRVWTuchel elects to give his international finalists and semi-finalists a break as Christensen, Azpilicueta, James, Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Mount and Jorginho all start on the bench.
-
PRVWTaking a look at the teams, Chalobah starts in the middle of Chelsea's back three as he has done throughout pre-season. Could this be a breakout season for the youngster?
-
PRVWVillarreal bench: Rulli (GK), Mandi, Ruben Peña, Cuenca, Estupiñan, Mario Gaspar, Morlanes, Iborra, Alcacer, Raba, Moi Gomez, Fer Niño
-
PRVWChelsea bench: Kepa (GK), Christensen, Emerson, Azpilicueta, James, Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Mount, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Pulisic, Abraham

-
PRVWChelsea XI: Mendy (GK); Zouma, Chalobah, Rudiger; Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Ziyech, Werner, Havertz
-
PRVWBack to tonight's match, as we take a look a the teams.
-
PRVWVillarreal defeated Manchester United to win the Europa League in dramatic fashion. After Gerard Moreno's opener was cancelled out by Cavani in the second half, the teams went all the way to a penalty shoot-out. After all ten outfield players scored their spot kicks, it was down to the goalkeepers to decide proceedings. Rulli scored his before saving De Gea's, as Villarreal won the first major trophy in the club's history.
-
PRVWChelsea were crowned Champions of Europe after defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the Champions League final thanks to a Kai Havertz goal. That became just the second UCL trophy in the country's history, and the first trophy for Thomas Tuchel as Blues boss. What a way to get it!
