Who is playing in Liverpool Legends vs Ajax? Teams confirmed for Anfield fixture
The March international break will see the Liverpool Legends take centre stage at Anfield this weekend.
A Reds Legends line-up will take on Ajax on Saturday at Anfield while the first team are on a hiatus during the international break. Several former Liverpool stars will be involved in the match, including one who will make their Legends debut.
Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson will be manager of the Liverpool Legends team at the weekend. He will be assisted by former Anfield icons John Barnes, Ian Rush and John Aldridge.
One of the main stars of the squad for Liverpool Legends is Steven Gerrard. The former Reds captain is currently managing Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, but his side do not play their next game until March 29, which gives Gerrard the time to return to Merseyside and feature at Anfield once again.

Fernando Torres will also be involved in the Liverpool Legends squad against Ajax on Saturday. It will be the first time that the Spaniard has played in the annual fixture since his retirement in the summer of 2019 - although he was involved in the All-Stars match back in 2015 during his time at Atletico Madrid.
It was during their time at Liverpool that Gerrard and Torres had a formidable partnership in front of goal. The duo starred for the Reds from 2007 until Torres' £50 million exit to Chelsea in 2011.
