Liverpool Legends return to match action this afternoon, hosting Borussia Dortmund Legends at Anfield to raise money for the club’s foundation.

The Reds are playing their first match since they pipped Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in October, winning 1-0 thanks to Ryan Babel’s winner.

This may prove a tougher contest, though, as this Dortmund team won a legends’ cup earlier this year. Their squad is expected to feature Mats Hummels, who was still competing in the Europa League less than a year ago before announcing his retirement after the 2024-25 season.

Liverpool will boast a formidable managerial staff, though, as Jurgen Klopp and Kenny Dalglish knock their heads together in a bid to best the German’s former club.

Here is everything you need to know about the match...

They will have a star-studded team at their disposal, too, with Steven Gerrard, Peter Crouch and Pepe Reina among the talent.

Martin Skrtel, who made headlines in a recent legends’ match against Chelsea as he clashed with Diego Costa, has earned a recall. Ryan Babel scored the winner at Stamford Bridge in a similar event in October and also returns.
