Emotions rising as Steven Gerrard set for final Anfield appearance

16 May 2015 16:46

The late kick-off is likely to be an emotion-fuelled affair between Liverpool and Crystal Palace thanks to none other than Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard will be making his final appearance at Anfield today before heading to the US where he’ll be playing for Los Angeles Galaxy this summer.

It promises to be a special occasion of tributes and tears and perhaps a teddy bear or two – although the man himself is focused on the job at hand.

Here’s what’s happening before there’s even been a ball kicked.
