Former Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba will present the Capital One Cup to today's winners at Wembley.
The retired 24-year-old will be the sponsor's guest of honour for the day and will also watch the game from the Royal Box, as well as being introduced to the squads before the game.
The former England Under-21 international was playing for Bolton in an FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham last March when he suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed.
The midfielder's heart stopped beating for 78 minutes but because of the prompt treatment he received on the pitch he defied the odds to survive and make an incredible recovery.
Although he hoped to resume his career, he was advised against it by doctors and retired from the sport in August.
