PRVWFernandes and Albiol come together for the toss! 9,500 fans in here.
-
PRVWThe players are out here in Gdansk!
-
PRVWDerby manager Wayne Rooney is in the stands for this one with his son.
-
PRVWMan Utd won this competition back in 2017 after beating Ajax 2-0 in the final.
-
PRVWMan Utd fielded a weakened team for the 1-2 win at Wolves on Sunday. Bailly is the only player to retain his place from that game. Henderson in goal, Telles, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Williams, Matic, Van de Beek, D James, Mata, Elanga and Diallo all drop out.
-
PRVWVillarreal make one change from the side which lost 2-1 to Real Madrid on Saturday. Juan Foyth comes in for Mario Gaspar. They wanted to beat RM to at least guarantee an EL spot next term rather than an ECL one.
-
PRVWVillarreal are clearly the underdogs here, but as well as winning the tournament, they will play in the CL instead of the ECL next season if they win tonight.
-
PRVWA reminder that we'll have extra time and penalties if needed here and that we have GLT as well as VAR.
