Team news
So, England include Kieran Trippier in the playing XI and have dropped Bukayo Saka to the bench. This means it's going to be a back three for England with two wing-backs in Trippier and Luke Shaw. There's no Phil Foden in tonight's squad because of an injury.
Roberto Mancini has gone with same playing XI which he named in semi-final win over Spain. This is a familiar 4-3-3 setup with Chiesa, Immobile and Insigne leading the attack.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Euro 2020 final between Italy and England at London's Wembley Stadium.
Two European nations with plenty of footballing history will battle it out for the continental glory. Both teams have been really impressive throughout the tournament and deserved to play in the final. While England will have crowd behind them tonight, Italy will hope their quality players will be able to deliver when it matters the most.
Offensively, Italy are favourites but England conceded just once in this tournament.
Stay tuned as we will bring you all the updates from the final.
Preview: Kieran Trippier has been recalled to the England team for Sunday's Euro 2020 final at Wembley against Italy, who are unchanged from their semi-final win on penalties against Spain.
Atletico Madrid full-back Trippier replaces Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka in a change that will see England manager Gareth Southgate revert to the five-man defence that he used in the 2-0 win over Germany in the last 16.
Trippier has since been used off the bench in the wins over Ukraine in the last eight and against Denmark in the semi-final on Wednesday.
England are otherwise unchanged and Harry Kane, who scored the extra-time winner against Denmark, captains a side that is looking to win the country's first major international tournament since the 1966 World Cup in front of an expected crowd of 67,500.
Italy, who are themselves chasing a first European Championship crown since 1968, go with the same line-up that started against Spain with Emerson Palmieri of Chelsea continuing at left-back in place of the injured Leonardo Spinazzola.
Starting line-ups:
Italy (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini (capt), Emerson Palmieri; Nicolo Barella, Jorginho, Marco Verratti; Federico Chiesa, Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne
Coach: Roberto Mancini (ITA)
England (5-3-2)
Jordan Pickford; Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw; Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, Mason Mount; Harry Kane (capt), Raheem Sterling
Coach: Gareth Southgate (ENG)
Referee: Bjorn Kuipers (NED)
