Luis Suarez will return to Anfield later this month with a host of former Liverpool and other stars for a unique charity match.

The game, organised by the Liverpool FC Foundation, will see Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher each captain a side they have selected.

Players involved in the March 29 fixture include Barcelona’s Suarez, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Thierry Henry, John Terry and Didier Drogba.

Some Liverpool first-teamers and academy players will also feature.

Proceeds raised from the event will help fund the foundation’s community programmes, which benefit young people and adults throughout the city.

STEVEN Gerrard may not be the key to Liverpool’s success any more. This season, they have won 40.9 per cent of their 22 league matches with Gerrard, but without him they have won all six, including Wednesday’s clash with Burnley (see table right).
