Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard will be honoured for their contributions to English football by the Professional Footballers' Association at the weekend, the Daily Mail has reported.

Gerrard leaves Liverpool, the club where he has spent his entire career, to join MLS outfit LA Galaxy in the summer.

Lampard, who has played for West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City, moves to New York City FC.

The contributions made by the former England international midfielders will be recognised by the footballers' union at its annual awards ceremony in London.

Gerrard and Lampard have won 19 major trophies between them, including two Champions League wins, and have a joint total of 220 international caps.

Gerrard, who made his England debut in 2000, played in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups and was captain for the last two of those.

In 2012, he became the sixth England player to win 100 caps but called time on his international career in July 2014 after amassing 114 appearances.

Lampard won his first England cap in 1999 and went on to become the eighth English player to earn 100, with the landmark coming in a World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in 2013. He retired from international football in August.

He won three Premier League titles with Chelsea, lifting the trophy in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2009-10.
