However, glory in the Europa League is not only a chance for a trophy in an otherwise disappointing season, but crucially, it also offers direct qualification to the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League.

Ahead of the game, there are many huge talking points within the two fanbases, and we've pulled some of them together.

But rather than telling you what we think, we want to hear what YOU have to say. Go through all the questions below and vote on what you believe is going to happen!

Who will win?

Easy one to start off: a prediction on who takes home the trophy.

When will the game be decided?

Another simple one, is this getting sorted in regular time, extra-time or on penalties?

Which team needs this more?

Both teams and managers are under pressure, but which club needs this victory the most?

Who will finish as the Europa League Golden Boot winner?

Currently, Bruno Fernandes is sharing the lead on seven goals with Kasper Hogh of Bodo/Glimt and Ayoub El Kaabi of Olympiacos. With neither of those latter two players featuring in the final, if Fernandes fails to score he is set to share the award.

If he scores, he is likely to win outright - but there are other options, with team-mate Rasmus Hojlund closest on six goals, plus Tottenham duo Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson on five and four, respectively.

Who comes in for Maddison and Kulusevski for Spurs?

Let's get into some team news.

It has been confirmed that Tottenham will be without both James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, so who comes in for them in the No. 8 and No. 10 roles?
