Sevilla
Having been Sevilla's cup goalkeeper since Jose Luis Mendilibar arrived in Andalucia, Yassine Bounou will replace Marko Dmitrovic between the posts, as the Spanish side make several changes to the team beaten by Real Madrid on Saturday.
While Joan Jordan and Suso have overcome injuries to return to contention, both Tanguy Nianzou and Marcao remain doubts and Marcos Acuna is suspended, but Mendilibar still has plenty of options to choose from.
Captaining the team from right-back in a likely 4-2-3-1 formation, Jesus Navas will be 37 years and 191 days old on Wednesday, and should therefore become the oldest outfield player to start a UEFA Cup or Europa League final since 38-year-old David Weir did so for Rangers back in 2008.
Up front, Rafa Mir makes way for Bounou's fellow World Cup star, Youssef En-Nesyri. The Moroccan striker scored twice in Los Rojiblancos' quarter-final victory over Manchester United and once against Juventus in the semis.
Sevilla possible starting lineup:
Bounou; Navas, Bade, Gudelj, Telles; Fernando, Rakitic; Ocampos, Torres, Gil; En-Nesyri
Roma
Despite longstanding concerns, it seems Roma's main man Paulo Dybala will also be available in Budapest, after he was cleared by the club's medical staff. Having recovered from an ankle injury suffered against Atalanta last month, the mercurial forward should at least be fit enough for a cameo from the bench.
Leonardo Spinazzola is also set to make it back in time for the final, having resumed full training at the start of the week; therefore, only Rick Karsdorp and Marash Kumbulla remain sidelined.
After Jose Mourinho revealed his hand by fielding a weakened team in Florence - demonstrating that Wednesday's showdown will be an all-or-nothing occasion - several key players will return.
Nemanja Matic, goalkeeper Rui Patricio and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini did not travel to Tuscany at the weekend, but the latter - who has played a direct role in eight Europa League goals this season - will lead Roma out in the Hungarian capital.
Roma possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Celik, Cristante, Matic, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, El Shaarawy; Abraham
Prediction: Sevilla 0-1 Roma (after extra time)
