The Greeks were invited because it was against them that the England international scored one of the most stunning and important goals of his career - in a Champions League tie
The Anfield faithful will turn out in force to honour club captain Gerrard. The 33-year-old has ensured his name will rank among the greatest players to have represented the club, after a career spanning over 600 appearances and including the now legendary Champions League triumph in 2005, when he inspired a comeback against Italian giants AC Milan.
His performances in Europe that year also included that sensational last-minute goal against Olympiakos, which completed a win from 0-1 down to 3-1 at the final whistle.
Former Liverpool stars including Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher will also take to the pitch.
"When I was growing up and at the centre of excellence - now called the Academy - I was on year-by-year contracts. I never thought I was going to play for the first team; not until probably the age of 16 or 17. To be sitting here now as captain - it is mind-blowing," Gerrard told the club's website.
"People talk about my loyalty towards the club, but I certainly appreciate the loyalty that the club show me back - offering me a testimonial shows that," he concluded.
