The massive charity match takes place on Sunday, June 9 at Stamford Bridge and will be raising money for Unicef.

Some of England‘s greatest ever players will roll back the years against some of the world’s all-time best.

And together they will play to help underprivileged children from around the world escape conflict, malnutrition and disease.

Adult fans can buy a ticket for only £20 while children can gain entry at Chelsea‘s famous ground for just £10.

Perez and Pochettino go back a long way as they also worked together at Southampton, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain.

Eden Hazard

When thinking about some of the greatest Stamford Bridge legends, Eden Hazard is one of the first names that come to mind.
