Manchester City's Raheem Sterling and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold are among several top-flight players who have signed up to represent their clubs in the ePremier League Invitational tournament next week to generate funds for Britain's National Health Service (NHS).

The inaugural edition of the tournament will see players test their FIFA 20 video game skills against each other between April 20-25 from their homes.

Among the players who have confirmed their participation are Wolverhampton Wanderers' Diogo Jota and Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha.

"The thoughts of everyone at the Premier League are with all those directly affected by COVID-19," Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said in a statement on Saturday.

"The league, our clubs and players are providing valuable support for communities and the NHS.

"We are also aware of the importance of finding new ways to entertain fans at this time and we're excited to bring together a strong line-up of players for the ePremier League tournament."

The prize fund will be donated to the #PlayersTogether initiative created by league players to help the NHS.

Fans can watch the action on the Premier League website as well as its YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels. The semi-finals and final will be broadcast on Sky Sports.

The full lineup for the tournament will be confirmed ahead of Monday's draw.
