Steven Gerrard returns to Liverpool to captain incredible line-up against Barcelona legends

Steven Gerrard will captain a star-studded Liverpool legends line-up against Barcelona this afternoon.

Gerrard will take to the field alongside a host of former team-mates to face a Barca side that will be led at Anfield by Rivaldo.

Jamie Carragher also starts for the Reds, who will be managed by Sir Kenny Dalglish. However, it remains to be seen what formation the side will be playing.

Edgar Davids, Javier Saviola, Ludovic Giuly all line up for Albert Ferret’s side at Anfield. Follow our live updates from Anfield here.
