LA Galaxy have geared up for the potential showdown between Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard on the weekend by releasing a commemorative match poster.

Ahead of Sunday's clash with New York City, the MLS outfit have worked with a local designer to create 'The British Invasion' boxing-style poster which features the iconic duo.

Should Lampard overcome the niggle that has kept him out of his side's previous two matches, the midfielders will face each other for the first time since their respective moves across the pond.

Since last season, Gerrard's new side have worked with local, national and international artists to design unique posters for each home match, with all proceeds from poster sales going to the LA Galaxy Foundation.

And it's no surprise that poster for the sell-out clash at the StubHub Center stars the familiar faces of the former England duo, who are both experiencing their first season in the MLS.

Gerrard has hit the ground running in America and has impressed in the five MLS appearances he has made.

The Liverpool legend helped his side defeat Dallas 2-1 in their previous match and will be hoping to get one over his former Premier League rival if they meet.

Lampard, on the other hand, has had a slow start to his career in the MLS after making just two league appearances.

The former Chelsea midfielder is yet to an experience a victory and missed his side's 2-2 draw with Columbus Crew in their previous outing.

But the statistics fare well for Lampard should the 37-year-old go up against his former England colleague on Sunday.

Lampard and Gerrard have faced each other on 33 occasions, with the former winning 15 matches while the latter has won 11.
