That may sound like some sort of fever dream for Everton and Liverpool supporters but it is exactly what we could see in the Game4Hope on Saturday.
The charity match, which has been set up to help tackle homelessness by raising funds for Shelter and Everton in the Community, will see legends from the two Merseyside clubs come together, with Everton legend Peter Reid and Liverpool icon John Barnes in the dugout, to take on a star-studded Rest of the World XI.
Throw in some celebrities and the inaugural Game4Hope really is shaping up to be something special.
Coverage will be free on 5 for UK viewers, but who exactly will be lacing up their boots?
Radio Times rounds up the full list of legends and celebrities featuring in the Game4Hope line-ups.
