Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has started collaborating with one of his former rivals: Manchester United icon Gary Neville.

‌

The ex-midfielder has followed in the footsteps of former team-mate Jamie Carragher by teaming up with Neville for the former United captain's brand new football programme.

The Overlap Daily will broadcast every weekday at 4pm UK time on YouTube. The inaugural episode, launching Friday, October 9, will showcase Carragher, Neville and YouTube personality Mark Goldbridge.

Also participating in the project alongside the previously mentioned figures will be Joe Hart, Jamie Redknapp, Ashley Young, Tim Sherwood, Kelly Cates, Duncan Ferguson, Mark Crossley, Becky Ives and Peter Schmeichel.

Gerrard, who has resumed his punditry duties with TNT Sports this season, will make his regular presenting debut alongside sports broadcaster Becky Ives on the Monday slot.

Overlap Daily seeks to deliver supporters a daily summary of breaking football stories and discussion, with regular contributors providing exclusive analysis alongside the hosts' views and forecasts. It will additionally incorporate questions from supporters and a phone-in component.

After Monday's programme with Gerrard and Ives, Tuesday's will showcase Cates, Young and Hart. Wednesday's instalment will see former Spurs pair Redknapp and Sherwood assume presenting responsibilities.

Thursday's programme will feature Everton legend Ferguson and former Wales goalkeeper Crossley taking on presenting responsibilities. Carragher, Neville and Goldbridge will front Friday's edition.

Overlap Daily follows the remarkable success of Neville's existing podcast, The Overlap, which has accumulated over 38 million monthly views since launching in 2021. High-profile guests including David Beckham, Tyson Fury and Rory McIlroy have appeared on the show, establishing it as one of the most popular podcasts in the UK.

Neville, founder of the Overlap, said: "We have wanted to create a daily show for some time now. There was a moment in the last year where a manager was sacked and we didn't have a programme for seven days - at that point we recognised that we needed to go for it.

"The quality and profile of our incredible host line-up speaks to our commitment to deliver the best insights and debate on the biggest football stories, and we'll now be doing this daily."

Simon Pitts, Group CEO of Global and Co-Chair of The Overlap, added: "The Overlap has created one of the most powerful football brands in the game by putting brilliant talent and genuine fan conversation at the heart of everything it does.

"Overlap Daily takes that ambition to the next level, creating a place for the stories and debates that matter, every day, with an incredible line-up of the best football voices in the business."
