Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will wear the iconic red shirt once again when Jurgen Klopp's men travel to Australia in May.
Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Steve McManaman will be part of the Liverpool team who will play a post-season friendly against A-League side Sydney FC next month as part of the club's 12th anniversary celebrations.
