Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan, going up against each other in this year’s star-studded Soccer Aid match, are all kitted out and ready to go...

-

What are you looking forward to? SUSANNA, 48:

I’m most looking forward to seeing the look on Piers’ face when the England Soccer Aid team has beaten him! PIERS, 54: I can’t wait to join Harry Redknapp on the touchline, to co-manage the team. Despite the fact that he once managed Spurs, Harry is one of the greats in football and with a little help from me,

I think the players will drive us to a victory. We have a superb team – how can we lose?

Why did you want to take part? PIERS: I’m delighted to have finally got the call to be involved. This is a great way to raise a lot of money and, given my football expertise, I’m hoping to do better than Arsenal did last season and bring home a trophy.

What type of manager do you think you’ll be?

SUSANNA: I’ll be motivation­al – I’ll try to bring out the best in my players, focusing on their

strengths. No unnecessar­y hairdryer treatment – unlike some people!

Piers, would you agree?

PIERS: I think Susanna will be too soft, and worry about how the players are feeling, whereas I will be pushing my team to win. Losing is not an option, and

I look forward to having bragging rights over Susanna for at least a year!

Susanna, you must be looking forward to going head to head against Piers?

Yes! But not if he wins. He’ll be insufferab­le...!
