Manchester City field a daunting-looking frontline for this FA Youth Cup final.

Reigan Heskey, son of Emile and the Samba brothers Floyd and Tyrone, whose father is ex-defender Chris, all start for Oliver Reiss’ side.

Topscorer Teddie Lamb, who has scored 28 goals this season, leads the line.

Ryan McAidoo, who has made two first-team appearances in the FA Cup this season and scoring against Exeter, also plays.

Man City XI: Hudson, Headley, Drake, Braithwaite, Wain, Miles, McAidoo, F. Samba, Lamb, T. Samba, R. Heskey.

Substitutes: Vickery, Courtman, Tevenan, Cassim, Gorman, X. Parker, Midwood.

Manchester United give a start to U18s star JJ Gabriel, as expected, playing in behind striker Chido Obi, who made eight first-team appearances last season under Ruben Amorim.

Highly-rated midfielder Amir Ibragimov, who was recently called up to the Russia squad for their forthcoming friendly matches, also starts.

Man Utd XI: Byrne-Hughes, Helafu, Armer, Mills, Kukonki, McCormack, Ibragimov, Thwaites, Gabriel, Obi, Ajayi.
