Liga de Quito v Man Utd
Club World Cup final: Liga de Quito v Manchester United
Venue: Yokohama International Stadium
Date: Sun 21 December Kick-off: 1030 GMT
Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has recovered from a virus ahead of the Fifa Club World Cup final against Ecuador's Liga de Quito.
The Bulgarian is expected to take his place on the United bench, but boss Sir Alex Ferguson has not decided yet who will make up his starting XI.
Park Ji-Sung will play and Rafael, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney are all hoping to start.
Quito coach Edgardo Bauza takes charge of his last game before leaving.
"It will be the match of our lives," said the Argentine.
"Even though we are not favourites we will be at the top of our game and do our best.
"I don't know how we will handle the best team in England, but I know my players will give everything they've got."
Ferguson believes Quito will provide his side with very stiff opposition in the Yokohama International Stadium in Japan.
"I'm very pleased that we're in the final, but we will be facing a stern test, as Liga de Quito are very strong defensively," said the Scot.
"My assistant Mick Phelan and I saw a video of their semi-final against Pachuca and also had them watched by a scout. Quito are a typically South American side - solid at the back and dangerous in front of goal.
"It will certainly be anything but an easy match, it is the final of the Club World Cup so you can't expect an easy ride."
United forward Cristiano Ronaldo says he is desperate to add the Club World Cup crown to the titles he has already won in 2008.
"I really want to win this trophy after the year I have had," said the European Footballer of the Year.
"Not just for me, but for United. No other British team has won it and we want to be the first to do that.
"And I believe it will give us extra motivation to win the Champions League and Premier League again."
