Soccer Aid returns to our screens on Sunday night for the 12th edition of the charity football match.
The venture, started in 2006, was the brainchild of singer Robbie Williams and brings together the worlds of football and celebrity to raise money for good causes. Last year's Soccer Aid for Unicef raised a record-breaking £15.6million, with a World XI beating the England XI in a penalty shootout to move ahead in the overall head-to-head stakes with six wins to England's five.
This time around, England will be captained by former Lionesses skipper and Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott, while Olympic legend Usain Bolt will lead the World XI once again. Grime artist Stormzy and incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will be in the dugout for England and the World XI respectively.

What have the managers said
Stormzy: "I’m a massive football fan, so getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to manage England is a dream come true. The fact it’s at Old Trafford, and I’m a Manchester United fan, makes it extra special.
"I like to explore opportunities outside of music and when this one came across my desk I was delighted. This is an opportunity to show the world my football mind!"
Pochettino: "I am really looking forward to getting involved in Soccer Aid this year and managing the World XI. It is a real pleasure to be part of a match that represents a big cultural moment in this country's annual calendar - and rightly so, because it raises so much money for Unicef.
"I love English football stadiums, the passion the fans show for the game and the atmosphere they create, so it will be great to feel that again next month."
