PETALING JAYA: Super League champions Johor Darul Tazim (JDT) and FA Cup winners Kedah will be looking to cap the year with a double when they meet in today’s Malaysia Cup final at the Shah Alam Stadium.

Five-time winners Kedah are in the final for a third consecutive year. They lost 2-0 to Selangor in 2015 before beating the same opponents on penalties last year.
