Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is set to make an unexpected return to Anfield later this month.

The former Reds skipper, arguably one of the club's greatest ever players, is currently in charge of Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq.

Although the side are currently in eighth after taking 31 points from 22 games this season, Gerrard recently signed a contract extension until 2027.

But the 43-year-old will be back on Merseyside on March 23, taking part in a Liverpool legends game against Ajax's former heroes.

Gerrard has been a regular in rolling back the years in recent years and the official Liverpool website has announced he is pencilled in for another appearance.

It will be the eighth annual legends game for Liverpool and Gerrard is expected to join the likes of Daniel Agger, Fernando Torres, Maxi Rodriguez, Martin Skrtel, Dirk Kuyt, Jerzy Dudek and Sami Hyypia in pulling on the Liverpool shirt once again.

Ryan Babel is set to play for both sides, while Sven Goran-Eriksson has been granted his special wish of taking charge of Liverpool.

The 76-year-old recently revealed he is suffering from pancreatic cancer and expressed regret that he never got the chance to manage Liverpool, the club who he and his father supported

Liverpool fans called for their club to make it happen and it's been confirmed that the former England boss will be part of the management team alongside an Rush, John Aldridge and John Barnes.

The Swede will also be accompanied by his family and will receive a guided tour of the AXA training complex from Jurgen Klopp.

The game is a 54,000 sell-out, with all the proceeds going to the LFC foundation.

Gerrard's inclusion is a monumental move and will see him link up with Torres more than a decade after the Spaniard's £50 million move to Chelsea.
