Soccer Aid 2019 confirmed lineups as England take on the Rest of the World

Soccer Aid returns for 2019 with a new venue for the all-star clash between an England XI and the Rest of the World.

Taking place at Stamford Bridge, an England side led by Sam Allardyce and Susanna Reid (yes, that is correct) face off against an ROW team led by Harry Redknapp and Piers Morgan (again, that is correct).

Sir Mo Farah and Usain Bolt captain their respective sides, with stars from both the sporting and celebrity world facing off in the eighth edition of the charity showdown.

As such, the chances of TOWIE star Mark Wright clattering into former Arsenal star Robert Pires is a very real one; likewise One Direction's Niall Howan being schooled by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.

All money raised is for a good cause in UNICEF who protect children from danger across the world and since Soccer Aid started thirteen years ago, £30miillion has been raised for the charity.
