Soccer Aid is back and will take place this Sunday at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea being heavily represented in the game by the likes of Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard and more
Soccer Aid will kick off this Sunday with the full line ups revealing a host of former Premier League greats set to take part.
Aside from the usual quota of celebs, this year's clash will see a number of ex-Premier League names from Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs lace up. In the dug out, it will be an all-former Stamford Bridge affair with Frank Lampard taking the reigns of England and ex-Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino returning to his role as manager of the World XI, while Jesus Perez, Pochettino's assistant at Chelsea will also be in the dugout.
As well as footy legends, the game will once again feature a wealth of celebrities and famous sports personalities. Gracing the pitch this year are Olympic icons Usain Bolt and Sir Mo Farah, DJ Roman Kemp, Line of Duty star Martin Compston and podcaster, former boxer Tony Bellew and current fighter Tommy Fury as well as author Steven Bartlett.
Since beginning in 2006, England have won the fixture five times but their last win came back in 2018. The World XI have won seven times and last year saw them take the champion title for the fifth year on the run.
