The match is being staged to raise money and awareness for those affected from the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

Newcastle legend Shearer delivered a team talk to his players ahead of kick off and left Mourinho laughing with his comic timing.
“Thank you very much for coming, giving your time up today,” he started.
“It’s a fantastic cause. I know you’ve all travelled from all parts of the country to be here.
“Last night I got some news when I heard the greatest manager ever was coming to join us.
“I’ve got to apologise. Sir Alex isn’t here but I’ve got the second greatest instead.”
Mourinho can be seen laughing at the gag, clearly taking it in good spirit.
The United manager has overseen a winning start to the season at Old Trafford, with the Reds Devils currently top of the Premier League.
The club have not won the title since Ferguson retired in 2013.
