Why Chelsea is charging to watch Liverpool legends game when it's free on YouTube
Chelsea fans can choose to watch Saturday's legends charity match against Liverpool for a cost of £5.99 in the UK, with all proceeds going to straight to the Chelsea Foundation.
The game is also available to watch for free on Liverpool's YouTube channel, which might prompt some fans to question why anybody would pay for something that is available for nothing, but the fee that Chelsea is charging to watch on its official app and website should simply be viewed as a charitable donation.
Liverpool is taking on Chelsea in the Reds' ninth LFC Foundation legends game at Anfield, with the previous eight having raised $9.8 million for charitable causes.

One hundred percent of the proceeds raised from Saturday's game, which kicks off at 3pm GMT (11am ET/8am PT), will support the work of LFC Foundation, as well as supporting beneficiaries – including Forever Reds, Chelsea FC Foundation and Chelsea Players' Trust.
Ahead of the game, former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch spoke of his excitement at pulling on a Liverpool jersey again. 'It's unbelievably special. It's amazing how many ex-players end up supporting the club or want to be a part of the club. It's something really special," he said.
'With Forever Reds, you see the players all feel connected and that's to do with the club obviously looking after the ex-players, but all the players I played with have a connection to Liverpool.
'I certainly do. I know I married a Scouser, which helps, but I definitely have a connection to the club and always will. My boys support Liverpool and I take them to games. They were kind of pushed into it a little bit but they absolutely love it, and I'm very pleased that they do because for me I can now be a part of it.
'It will be massive for me, for my little boy to see me – he missed out, he's only five – so for him to see me pull on the red shirt again and play at Anfield will be a huge moment for our family.'

La Liga superstar reluctant to join Arsenal or Chelsea this summer
Arsenal have already all-but completed a deal to sign Martin Zubimendi, but he may not be the only La Liga player to make the move to north London this summer. They also have a strong interest in Nico Williams, but their chances of signing him during the transfer window looks to have reduced. Williams continues to be one of Athletic Club's star players, but because of this, he has attracted significant interest. Barcelona failed to sign him last summer, and 12 months, new names have entered the running – specifically, there has been interest shown from Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Nico Williams wants to stay in La Liga But the chances that any of those teams gets a deal done this summer are looking slim. As per Sport, Williams is reluctant to move outside of Spain, despite the fact that Arsenal and Chelsea would both be willing to activate the release clause in his Athletic contract. Imave via Marca / Ricardo Larreina Despite rejecting Barcelona last summer, Williams has an interest in joining the La Liga champions in 2025. But unfortunately for the Spain international, they are not considering him as an option at this stage, with Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford being the club's primary left wing targets. Advertisement At this stage, the most likely scenario is that Williams signs a new contract with Athletic. His current deal expires in 2027, so there has been increased jeopardy about his future. But if Barcelona (or Real Madrid) do not come calling, there is a good chance that the 22-year-old extends his stay in Bilbao. Should he do this, Athletic would look to significantly increase the value of his release clause, which currently stands at €60m. If this happens, the chances of a future transfer would decrease by a considerable amount, considering that Los Leones very rarely negotiate the sales of their star players.
