The LMA event will be presented by top sports presenter, Kelly Cates.
On joining Team Talk with Legends – Live, Klopp said: “I’m only too delighted to play my part in raising money for such an important cause. I don’t take time out before such a big match for nothing but with Sir Kenny, Sir Alex and Gareth it’s bound to be a special evening and one I’m looking forward to. I hope football fans everywhere will support us and enjoy a great evening of football chat.”
Former sports tv executive Trevor East, who came up with the idea for the fundraiser, said: “We can only thank Jurgen for his marvellous gesture, taking time out ahead of such an important game. To have such an illustrious line up talking about the game in their own homes has got to be a first and something not to be missed by fans everywhere.”
