One man in particular is certainly in familiar circumstances this evening, and that’s Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine returns to Stamford Bridge just weeks after leaving Chelsea. He was replaced by former Leicester boss Enzo Maresca.

Soccer Aid build-up is well and truly underway but ITV viewers were left baffled after the first few minutes.

The Stamford Bridge pitch is looking in a less than decent state. And spectators took to social media with their complaints.

One person said: “What is with the pitch at Stamford Bridge for #socceraid”, a different account put: “What is that pitch #SoccerAid”

We’ve also got confirmation of the World XI from bosses Mauricio Pochettino and Robbie Keane.

World XI: Petr Cech; Martin Compston, Roman Kemp, Patrice Evra, Emmett Scanlan; Kheira Hamraou, Michael Essien, Lee Mack, Eden Hazard, Alesandro Del Piero, Usain Bolt.

And England have confirmed the side that will be playing as Frank Lampard and Harry Redknapp make a dressing room announcement.

England XI: David James; Danny Dyer, Gary Cahill, Stuart Broad, Sam Quek; Jack Wilshere, Jill Scott, Tom Grennan, Sam Thompson, Joe Cole, Ellen White.
