Harry Kane has been declared fit and will lead the Tottenham line in a huge boost to Spurs' Carabao Cup final chances.

The England striker has recovered from an ankle injury sustained against Everton nine days ago and will partner Son Heung-min.

Manchester City also have arguably their most influential player back as Kevin De Bruyne has shaken off his ankle issue to start for Pep Guardiola's cup holders. Sergio Ageuro is fit enough for a place among the substitutes.

Ah, 2008. Simpler times.

It's 13 long years since Tottenham claimed their last trophy, the 2008 League Cup, and Spurs fans will be absolutely desperate for their side to put an end to that wait today.

To put that into context, today's opponents Manchester City have won 14 trophies during that time.

Back then, Spurs came from a goal down to beat Chelsea at Wembley, as current Bournemouth manager Jonathan Woodgate scored an extra-time winner, after Dimitar Berbatov's penalty had cancelled out Didier Drogba's first half free-kick.

Manchester City, League Cup winners in the past three seasons, can equal Liverpool's record of lifting the trophy four years in a row. The Reds achieved that from 1981 to 1984.

And City can also join Liverpool in winning the League Cup a record eight times.

Their previous triumphs arrived in 1970, 1976, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

That really is some record in reason years.

Holders Manchester City reached the final after beating Championship side Bournemouth 2-1, and Premier League clubs Burnley (3-0), Arsenal (4-1) and Manchester United (2-0).

Tottenham's journey to Wembley began with a bye into the fourth round, after third-round opponents Leyton Orient could not field a team due to players having tested positive for Covid-19.

They then saw off Chelsea on penalties, before overcoming Championship sides Stoke City (3-1) and Brentford (2-0).

The 8,000 in attendance at Wembley today is the most at an outdoor sporting event in the UK since the first coronavirus lockdown in March 2020.

Tottenham and Manchester City will both have 2,000 fans, while the remaining allocation is split between groups including Brent residents and NHS staff.

There are certain rules of course, with nobody under 18 allowed to attend, and those attending must also have tested negative for coronavirus within the last 24 hours.

But it's another big milestone, with the FA Cup final on 15 May set to welcome 21,000 spectators.

It would, undoubtedly, have been great to see Wembley packed for this one.

The good news is, however, that we will have 8,000 in the stadium watching the Carabao Cup final today as we edge closer to some normality.

I'll have the team news from Wembley for you at 15:30. Until then, here's what we know so far.

The big news for Manchester City is that Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero could both be available.

The Belgian playmaker missed Wednesday's win over Aston Villa with a foot problem, while Aguero has not featured in City's last four matches.

For Spurs, England striker Harry Kane's chances of playing at Wembley were being monitored "hour by hour", according to interim boss Ryan Mason.

Kane missed the midweek win over Southampton with an ankle injury he picked up against Everton last week.

Silverware on the line. Fans back in the stadium. The sun shining above Wembley. It's all set up nicely.

The League Cup has very much been Manchester City's during the Pep Guardiola era, and there will be many backing his side to claim the trophy for a fourth straight year at Wembley today.

But, having taking charge of - and won - his first game as Tottenham interim boss on Wednesday, Ryan Mason will be looking to spoil the party and end Spurs' agonising wait for glory.
