The 2021 FA Cup final kicks off at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, with the starting line-ups of Shanghai Harbour and Shandong Taishan for this match already announced.
Another main player of the Harbor team, plagued by injuries and suspensions, did not enter the starting lineup due to injury. Starting U23 striker Liu Zhurun, who was injured in the final round of the Chinese Super League, sat on the bench, replaced by another U23 player, Zhang Huachen.
In addition, He Xi replaced Wei Zhen, who was suspended with a red card, as the team's starting and trailing center-back. The two full-backs in the back line are Wang Shenchao and Yu Hai, and the goalkeeper will be Yan Junling.
Midfielder Harbour followed paulinho's combination after injury, with Lee Shin-won and Lu Wenjun on both wings, with Australia internationals Mooy and Matijan in the middle.
The forward line is Hu Jinghang, who contributed a goal and an assist in the second match between the league and Shandong Taishan. On the left is captain Oscar and on the right is Zhang Huachen, the two may be a little bit behind to support the midfield, the formation changed from 343 to 361.
Such a starter and formation is still a basic routine for the Harbor team, and it seems that head coach Lecco did not use any "strange moves".
Compared with the first 2-0 win between the Chinese Super League and Shanghai Harbor, Shandong Taishan's side only made one adjustment to the starting lineup, replacing Jin Jingdao with Ji Xiang. Fellaini's four foreign aides all started, which can be said to be the strongest lineup that head coach Hao Wei can discharge.
