Bromley attack Ben Krauhaus had to be substituted early on during the semi-final victory over Altrincham and Louis Dennis, his replacement on the day, should slot into the starting XI.
Central striker Michael Cheek has 21 league goals this season and could prove the difference between Wembley elation and heartbreak for his side.
Bromley predicted lineup vs Solihull Moors (3-4-3): Smith; Webster, Grant, Reynolds; Weston, Arthurs, Charles, Odutayo; Dennis, Cheek, Whitely.
Jay Benn was taken off at half-time against Barnet but may get the all clear to start again on Sunday. If not, Kyle Morrison is the natural alternative for manager and former Brighton full-back Andy Whing.
While Bromley will look to Cheek for inspiration, Tahvon Campbell has been in electric form during the play-offs, having a hand in over half of their eight goals.
Solihull Moors predicted lineup vs Bromley (4-2-3-1): Hayes; Clarke, Morrison, Whitmore, Newton; Osborne, Maycock; Sbarra, Stevens, Shade; Campbell.
Bromley and Solihull Moors were separated by just five points in the regular season but their hopes of escaping the National League will come down to a straight shootout at Wembley.
The Moors have had less rest given they’ve played two knockout games compared to Bromley’s one so far and the previous encounter ended in a 3-0 success for the Ravens.
They might get the better of their final opponents again this weekend.
