Reece James, 24, Right wing back, England

Reece James has been playing well and will get another chance to impress. He still needs to work on his deliveries, but his overall game has been okay. This added to the fact there’s no one else to play right wing back, mostly.

N’Golo Kante, 7, Center midfielder, France

If Kante is fit, he would play. If Kante plays, Chelsea already have one hand on the trophy. Such is the influence Kante brings to any side. With Kante on the pitch, other players can be more relaxed knowing that Kante would save them should anything go horribly wrong. Yes, Kante can single handedly save Chelsea should anything go horribly wrong.

Mateo Kovacic, 17, Center midfielder, Croatia

Kovacic would be key for Chelsea at Wembley. If he plays as well as he can, Arsenal has no chance. Alongside Kante, Kovacic would focus on dribbling into the opposition half and utilizing his skills in more useful positions

Marcos Alonso, 3, Left wing back, Spain

The more technical aspects of Alonso’s skill set have been more pronounced when he has played at left wing back. He sets up his camp on the touchline and gives the midfielders an option to switch play. He stretches the left hand side of the pitch and gives the opposition defenders extra problems.
