Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard will be awarded with prestigious special merit awards by the PFA on Sunday as the curtain falls on their illustrious Premier League careers.
The footballers' union will pay tribute to the duo's outstanding contribution to English football at their annual awards ceremony this weekend.
The pair's careers in England are drawing to a close with Gerrard and Lampard leaving for America at the end of the season.
Liverpool captain Gerrard is joining LA Galaxy, while Lampard will meet up with new MLS franchise New York City FC.
And the PFA will acknowledge their exceptional careers on the same night they reveal the player and young player of the season.
The pair have won 19 major trophies between them - including two Champions League and two UEFA Cup/Europa League victories.
A rarity in modern day football, Gerrard and Lampard clinched those titles with one club, Liverpool and Chelsea, respectively - though the latter has also played for West Ham and Manchester City.
Both players amassed a total of 220 England appearances, many of them playing together in central midfield.
