This year’s fundraising is already underway, as Sam Thompson carried the match ball from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford, raising over £1.5m in the process.

As ever, a crop of former footballers will take the field, with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Nemanja Vidic, and Edwin van der Sar all set to participate.

An impressive lineup of celebrity guests has also been assembled. Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson will appear alongside distance runner Mo Farah, pop star Tom Grennan, and radio host Roman Kemp.

Comedians Lee Mack and Paddy McGuinness will both attend, with boxer Tony Bellew also set to make an appearance.

Harry Redknapp will again take to the England dugout, while World XI will be headed up by Peter Schmeichel and Robbie Keane. Read the full squad lists here.

England halted World XI’s run of five straight wins last year, winning 6-3 at Stamford Bridge with Joe Cole, Ellen White, Steven Bartlett, Jermaine Defoe, and Theo Walcott all on the scoresheet. Eden Hazard scored a free-kick for the World XI on his return to West London.
