Comedian and voice of 'Love Island' Iain Stirling and musician Chelcee Grimes will return to complete the presenting team at next weekend's Liverpool FC Legends charity match.

The duo are huge Reds and will front the coverage for the Anfield fixture against Ajax Legends, following their appearance at last year’s game, hosting alongside LFCTV’s Peter McDowall.

More than 57,000 tickets have already been sold for the event, which kicks off at 3pm GMT on Saturday March 23 and is presented by the club’s official training partner AXA.

All funds raised from the day will support the life-changing work of LFC Foundation across the Liverpool City Region and beyond.

This will be the eighth annual legends match, with the previous seven raising more than £6.4 million in vital funds, benefiting people both locally and internationally.

With 19 players confirmed, the squad is now complete, providing plenty of options for this year’s management team, which consists of former England manager and lifelong LFC fan Sven-Goran Eriksson alongside club legends Ian Rush, John Aldridge and John Barnes.

The charity match will see a number of fan favourites pull on the famous Liverpool shirt at Anfield once again, including Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, with the latter set to take part in his first LFC Legends game.

Tickets for the match, which is also in association with Forever Reds, are priced at £28 for adults, £8 for juniors and £18 for over-65s, and are available to purchase online here. Disabled supporters can visit the Accessibility Hub for full details.

This year, LFC Foundation will use a large proportion of money raised from the game to support its education programmes.

The foundation delivers a variety of education programmes and continues to develop and support projects to tackle a range of social issues, including poor educational outcomes, youth unemployment and young people becoming involved in gangs and crime.
