Xabi Alonso is looking forward to playing at Anfield once again.
The Spanish midfielder returns to Liverpool this Sunday for Steven Gerrard’s farewell game, and will start alongside his former skipper, against a team selected by Jamie Carragher.
Something Alonso seems more than happy with.
The Bayern Munich midfielder jokingly says he’s happy not be on Carra’s team, because he thinks the Sky Sports pundit would make ‘a terrible manager’.

Alonso and fellow former Liverpool player, Pepe Reina, are both looking forward to the game, saying how much they enjoyed their time at Liverpool, and how ‘special’ it is to play at Anfield.

The game is being played for charity, and there are two very impressive line-ups on show. Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez will feature on Gerrard and Alonso’s team, while Carragher opted for Didier Drogba and er, Craig Noone.
Actually, maybe they should pick the teams again.
