Narrative:

On descent we had initially briefed and set up for an approach like we seem to do 99% of the time we land in ZZZ. Unfortunately we were cleared for and read back ILS runway xx; and neither of us caught our error. The cockpit was busy at the time and we were in the process of trying to slow the aircraft per ATC instruction to 180 kts from 250; while staying on the vertical path (also an all-too-common occurrence in ZZZ). We were switched to a new frequency and continued for runway xy when the controller told us we had lined up on the wrong runway while we were near zzzzz intersection and to stop our descent at 7;000 ft and asked if we had runway xx in sight. We did and were subsequently cleared for a visual approach to xx.
