Chelsea will be fielding several former Premier League superstars in their legends clash with Tottenham Hotspur next year.

It was announced last month that Chelsea Legends will take on Spurs Legends over the Easter weekend on Saturday 27 March 2027 at Stamford Bridge.

The match will raise funds for Chelsea Foundation and for the local community at Tottenham, while giving fans a chance to see some of their favourites from yesteryear back in action.

It will be the first time in nearly two years that a Spurs Legends team will be in action, having last featured against AC Milan Glorie at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in March of last year.

Chief Executive of Spurs in the Community, Marc Leckie, said: “We’re delighted to be part of what promises to be a fantastic occasion at Stamford Bridge. Matches between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have produced so many memorable moments over the years, and it will be great to see some familiar faces come together again. We’re very grateful for the support the fixture will provide to our work and look forward to what should be a special day.”

Chief Executive of Chelsea FC Foundation, Laura Cordingley, added: “We are delighted to announce the next Legends match at Stamford Bridge, and I would like to thank the Club for its support in making this happen. This match against Tottenham Hotspur will reignite a legendary rivalry on the pitch, providing our supporters with the opportunity to see some of their heroes back at Stamford Bridge, whilst also raising vital funds for Chelsea Foundation’s life-changing impact off the pitch. We look forward to putting on an incredible event on Saturday 27 March.”

Chelsea announce some big names will take on Tottenham legends

Chelsea have now announced that two-time Premier League winner Claude Makelele is the latest player whose participation in the match has been confirmed.

He joins the likes of John Terry, Eden Hazard, Cesar Azpilicueta and Oscar as the other former Blues legends who will take part in the game.

All of those players had some massive battles with Tottenham, both at White Hart Lane and Stamford Bridge over the course of their careers, and will now get a chance to face their fierce rivals again.

The North London club are yet to confirm the players who will be taking the field for Spurs Legends.

Of course, Tottenham Legends go into the Stamford Bridge clash feeling safe in the knowledge that Spurs’ curse away to Chelsea is now dead and buried.

Who can we expect to line up for Spurs Legends?

The full Spurs squad against Milan Glorie last year included: Heurelho Gomes, Pascal Chimbonda, Michael Dawson, Ledley King, Younes Kaboul, Sandro, Teemu Taino, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Michel Vorm, Sebastien Bassong, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Steffen Freund, Chris Perry, Michael Brown, Teddy Sheringham, Allan Nielsen, and Mark Falco.

There have been some notable retirements since then, including Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Victor Wanyama, and Mousa Dembele, and it will be interesting to see if they are involved.

Spurs fans may also be hoping to see the likes of Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart being drafted into the team in what could be two star-studded line-ups facing each other.
