  Robbie Fowler and Bolo Zenden have received late call-ups to Marcello Lippi's European select squad for tonight's double celebration match at Old Trafford.
  Fowler and Zenden will join Liverpool team-mates Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard in the star-studded side that takes on Manchester United.
  
  Lippi has drawn on some of the top names from across the continent for a game that marks two jubilees – the 50th anniversary of the treaty of Rome and Manchester United's half-century of participation in European competition.
  
  United director Bobby Charlton says: "I look forward to welcoming so many stars and friends to Old Trafford to celebrate these two significant anniversaries."
  
  All proceeds from the night will go to charity.

  KNN, call up so many Liverpool players? Is it because they close to Old Trafford? Hope Gerrard and Carragher dun get themselves injured for this "friendly".
