Liverpool Legends vs Ajax Legends: Live score, team news and updates as former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson takes charge of the Reds following cancer diagnosis

So, what is this match all about.

The money raised from today’s match go to LFC Foundation Charity, and the proceeds will be used to help schools, inclusive programmes, and much more!

I am getting flashbacks reading this!

Sven-Goran Eriksson has named his Liverpool team to face Ajax Legends, and there is some firepower in there, that’s for sure.

We have already spoken about the connection between Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, but let’s not forget Maxi Rodriguez and Ryan Babel. They scored more than a few in front of the Kop in their day.

The bench isn’t half bad either… Dirk Kuyt will certainly make a good impact off it!

Look at the smiles on their faces.

I bet every former Liverpool player there today can’t wait to get back on the Anfield turf.

Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres certainly look excited to be back together again.

Speaking to the press yesterday, Sven-Goran Eriksson shared his delight at being given the opportunity to lead out the Liverpool Legends side.

It’s like a dream [taking charge of the legends team] and when they [Liverpool] asked I thought it was a joke. But I said: “Of course, I will come,” and it is for charity which makes it even more lovely.

Anfield has maybe the best ­atmosphere in the world and part of that is the song when the players come out: You’ll Never Walk Alone. I’m looking forward to ­hearing it on Saturday.

I’m very h­onoured and thankful to Liverpool that they give me this opportunity.

Ajax have some stars of their own, and their legends will certainly be looking to put on a show today.

Premier League fans, Tottenham ones specifically, will remember both Rafael van der Vaart and Edgar Davids.

We are certainly set to see some good football from these guys today. It’s time to turn back the clock.

The nostalgia in this photo…

I remember the times when Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres were ripping up the league back in the 2000s.

Although they may not have won anything together, they sure made every Liverpool fan smile with how they played.

I feel they both may get some goals today – Torres certainly looked sharp in training yesterday.

What a lovely moment this is.

Sven-Goran Eriksson’s day has started by meeting Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, and he had some lovely words to say to the Reds boss.

You can tell by the smile on his face just how happy Eriksson is. It’s nice to see.

It’s set to be an emotional day at Anfield.

Sven-Goran Eriksson will fulfil his dream of leading out a Liverpool side Legends side including the likes of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres as they face off against Ajax Legends in a charity match.

After revealing his dreams of managing the Reds, following his terminal cancer diagnosis, Eriksson will today be stood in the home dugout at Anfield. It will be a truly heartwarming moment when he first steps out of the tunnel.
