Chelsea Legends take on Liverpool Legends on Saturday, October 11 at Stamford Bridge, with iconic club figures from both sides set to take to the pitch in SW6.
Roberto Di Matteo, the man who led Chelsea to their first-ever Champions League trophy in 2012, is managing the Blues, who have the following set to represent them at the weekend: John Terry, Eden Hazard, Katie Chapman, Gemma Davison, Joe Cole, Marcel Desailly, Petr Cech, Diego Costa, Gianfranco Zola, Carlo Cudicini, Ramires, Salomon Kalou, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Frank Sinclair, William Gallas, Jon Harley, Jody Morris, Loic Remy, Gary Cahill, Celestine Babayaro, John Mikel Obi, Florent Malouda, Claude Makelele and Tiago.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have three managers in Ian Rush, John Aldridge and Phil Thompson. Representing the Reds on the pitch are the likes of Pepe Reina, Sander Westerveld, Fabio Aurelio, Martin Kelly, Ragnar Klavan, Martin Skrtel, Yossi Benayoun, Momo Sissoko, Jay Spearing, Ryan Babel, Natasha Dowie, Robbie Keane, Gregory Vignal, Igor Biscan, Stephane Henchoz, Mark Gonzalez and Florent Sinama Pongolle.
The two Legends sides met at Anfield back in March, with Liverpool coming out on top that day. Peter Crouch scored twice as the Reds beat the Blues by two goals to nil on Merseyside, but Chelsea will be looking for revenge this weekend in their own back yard.
All proceeds from the match will go to Chelsea FC Foundation and the Chelsea Players' Trust, which supports the welfare of former players. Tickets are still available for this weekend's game, with prices starting at as low as £17.50.
