Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane to go toe-to-toe in no holds barred chat

Pundits Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane are set to lock horns in a live, in-person tour of YouTube show The Overlap.

The former Manchester United and Liverpool stars are fixtures on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage, be it Monday Night Football or weekend fixtures. With the Overlap, meanwhile, they have introduced conversations with other former teammates and rivals including the likes of ex-England midfielder Paul Scholes.

Neville, Carragher and Keane have also used the show to spark debate over the Premier League, making predictions for the relegation battle on the eve of the new campaign. And, based on their previous live event, The Overlap already has a fanbase.

Back in March, The Overlap went on the road for the first time with a live show in Manchester. The event sold out in minutes, and Neville and co are moving to a bigger venue - The Ovo Arena in Wembley - for round two.

The Manchester show took place at the start of the year, not long after Carragher and Keane faced off on Sky Sports over Cristiano Ronaldo. The pundits would later go on to reopen their debate, but at the time it looked like former United captain Keane had the last laugh regarding his one-time teammate.

Taking place before United's Champions League elimination at the hands of Atletico Madrid, the live event saw Keane take a dig at Carragher's 2005 Liverpool team after suggesting Ronaldo could lead the Red Devils to European glory. "We’ve seen a lot worse teams than Man United win the Champions League," the Irishman said, with a pointed glance at his fellow pundit.

As well as the trio of pundits, the upcoming live show will feature presenters Kelly Cates and Josh Denzel. Organisers have urged fans to expect stories from the ex-pros' playing careers, over which they amassed more than 1,000 Premier League appearances between them.

“We took The Overlap live earlier this year and it was a brilliant night," Neville said. "We knew we had to do it again and Wembley was the only common ground we could find between the three of us!

“We’ll be opening up to questions throughout the night, which we might live to regret, but let’s give it a go. I can’t wait to take this to such a huge venue and it will be a great night – join us if you like!”

The event is due to take place on November 10, just 10 days before the World Cup gets underway in Qatar, so England's fortunes at the tournament are expected to be discussed. Tickets go on sale at 10am on September 30 via cuffeandtaylor.com
