22-man Liverpool legends squad vs. Man United – with World Cup winner added – Liverpool FC

Liverpool have now confirmed their full 22-man legends squad to play Man United at Anfield on Saturday, with World Cup winner Álvaro Arbeloa added to the ranks.

Following a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford in May, the Liverpool legends will face United again this weekend, with a kick-off at 3pm on Saturday.

There are two debutants in the squad, Martin Skrtel and Robbie Keane, while high-profile names such as Xabi Alonso, Maxi Rodríguez, Jerzy Dudek, Momo Sissoko and Stephane Henchoz are returning.

The full squad has now been confirmed for the clash, with 22 players set to wear Liverpool colors again in aid of the LFC Foundation.

Arbeloa is one of two players added to the squad from previous announcements, with the Spanish winger making his first appearance in the club’s legends squad.

Now manager of Real Madrid under-19s, who are unbeaten so far this season, including a 6-0 thrashing of Celtic in the UEFA Youth League, Arbeloa spent two and a half seasons with Liverpool between 2007 and 2009.

He made 98 appearances for the club, and although he only spent a relatively short time on Merseyside, he is still revered for his contribution under Rafa Benítez.

Florent Sinama-Pongolle, who made his debut in the reverse encounter earlier this year, has also joined the squad.

At Old Trafford, two goals from Mark González and another from Luis García gave victory to a United team that included Jaap Stam, Gary Neville, Patrice Evra, Antonio Valencia and Dimitar Berbatov.
