All You Need To Know About Steven Gerrard’s Charity Match

In what promises to be an absolute cracker of a football match Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher line up against each other today with a whole host of household names and superstars on show, all in the name of charity.

The game kicks off at 3pm from Anfield and the game will be streamed live on LFC TV which is a subscription only site but they are offering a 24 hour pass for a measly £1 so there is no excuse not to get involved – LFC are also donating the first £3 of every 1 month £7 subscription to charity and all donations go to Liverpool’s official charity LFC Foundation which helps many smaller charities across the city.

Now for the teams:

Team Gerrard

Brad Jones- Current Liverpool keeper behind Simon Mignolet

Defenders

John Terry – Chelsea captain and all round good guy

Stephen Warnock – Former LFC player, now playing for Derby

Ashley Williams – Swansea and Wales Captain and CB

Scott Dann – Crystal Palace CB

John Arne Riise – The man with bombs in his left boot, currently at APOEL will look forward to going up against LFC players again

Midfielders

Stevie G – Well he wasn’t going to leave himself out now was he

Kevin Nolan – West Ham captain and Scouser

Anthony Gerrard – Steven’s cousin who plays for Oldham

Fernando Torres – Liverpool god, Chelsea flop, now reborn at Atletico

Team Carragher

Stewart Downing – Ex-LFC, currently recapturing his best form at West Ham

Forwards

Harry Kewell – Ex-LFC and Leeds, possibly greatest Aussie ever to play in the Prem, now retired

Craig Bellamy – Ex-LFC who once attacked Riise with a golf club

Didier Drogba – Ivorian striker, currently back at his beloved Chelsea

Battles to watch out for

Riise and Bellamy; Bellamy famously hit Riise with a golf club  after a fracas, is all forgiven?

Drogba and Terry; Same club but on different teams today, expect a naughty challenge or two, not too naughty of course, Mourinho would go nuts!

Carragher and Gerrard; When the situation allows itself expect these two to be very funny and probably a bit dirty too.

Luis Garcia and John Terry; Luis Garcia scored the famous ‘ghost goal’ past Chelsea and knocked them out of the Champions League in 04/05, expect revenge.

Carragher and Henry/Suarez and Torres; Because why the fuck not, he’ll be making his presence felt.

It promises to be a thoroughly entertaining match and for a great cause, we’re chuffed so many high profile players are getting involved and can’t wait to see how the game plays out.

Our Prediction; 5-3 to Gerrard, Suarez,Henry and Torres is too much for any team!
