Old rivalries will be rekindled 20 years on from the astonishing 2004-05 season.

That year was the memorable Champions League semi-final between these two teams, which ended in a 1-0 win for the Reds after Luis Garcia’s controversial ‘ghost goal’.

Rafa Benitez‘s team went on to win the competition that year, with the Spaniard back in the dugout for Liverpool on Saturday.

Gerrard will also return to Anfield and is looking to roll back the years on Saturday.

The midfield icon enjoyed a glistening career making over 700 appearances for the Reds, bagging 186 goals and winning nine major trophies.

Fans will also be excited by the prospect of Gianfranco Zola starring.

The Italian maestro is best remembered for his incredible close control and dribbling skills and helping transform Chelsea in the late 1990s.

With Benitez in Liverpool’s dugout, Chelsea will also have a Champions League-winning manager guiding them.

Club legend Roberto Di Matteo was the man responsible for Chelsea’s first ever Champions League in 2012 and he takes charge of the legends again.

One hundred per cent of the money raised from the charity fixture will support the LFC Foundation, Forever Reds, Chelsea Foundation and Chelsea Players’ Trust.

Roberto di Matteo took Chelsea all the way in Europe in 2012.

Other players making an appearance for the sides include Robbie Keane, Jerzy Dudek, Dirk Kuyt, Ramires, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Florent Malouda and many more.

Football fans are in for a treat and will not want to miss this one with all these phenomenal names taking part – it’s due to be a cracker of a game and a great event.
