Follow Mail Sport’s live blog for all the latest from the London Stadium where YouTubers including KSI will take to the field in the Sidemen’s charity match.

All eyes on Speed

There’s no doubt who the star of last year’s match was.

Speed set the tone by taking KSI out in the first minute. He then spent 17 minutes offside and even managed to put the ball in the net.

Obviously it was ruled out but he didn’t care as he performed his hero Ronaldo’s iconic cleebration.

Can they break their own record?

30 minutes to kick-off

West Ham’s ground is filling up nicely. You can expect plenty of noise today. Probably a little more high pitched than this stadium is used to…

Who are The Sidemen?

The Sidemen are a group of YouTubers, who originally formed a decade ago, after forming a bond on an online platform for fans of popular video game, Grand Theft Auto.

The collective is made up of KSI, real name Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji; Simon Minter, known online as Miniminter; Joshua Bradley, known online as Zerkaa; Tobi Brown, known online as TBJZL; Ethan Payne, known online as Behzinga; Vikram Barn, known as Vikkstar123 and Harry Lewis, known as W2S.

Describing the group’s name, Minter said in a video: ‘A sideman is basically someone’s b**** who just follows them around… I was basically JJ’s b**** that followed him around.’

The group have produced a host of comedy sketches and online challenges since launching their video channel in 2015, earning them more than 18million subscribers.

Goldbridge in charge again

The Manchester United fan is back in the hot seat to take charge of the All-Stars.

Plenty of big names

KSI, IShowSpeed and several other YouTube stars are set to take to the field at the Sidemen Charity Match.

Last year saw team Sidemen defeat the YouTube All Stars 8-7 in a dramatic match at The Valley in Charlton.

The 2022 showcase drew 2.6 million concurrent viewers and more than 18 million views in the first 24 hours.

Tickets have already sold out, and the event is raising money for a wide range of charities, including Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), Teenage Cancer Trust and Rays of Sunshine.

Good afternoon!

And welcome to Sportsmail’s live coverage of the fifth Sidemen charity match.

If it’s anything like last year’s it promises to be a very entertaining afternoon.

Stay with us for all the action with kick-off at 3pm at West Ham’s London Stadium.
