Tottenham Hotspur will play against the best of Major League Soccer later this month, and they'll be going up against some very familiar faces. Former EPL legends Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, both of whom recently signed with MLS clubs, were both named the MLS All-Star squad. The first 13 members of the roster were released to the public on Monday.

MLS, like in many American sports leagues, picks its players in part through popular fan vote. Gerrard and Lampard were selected by MLS Commissioner Don Garber, while Obafemi Martins ("More than a Vote") was selected in part through fans playing and scoring with him on FIFA 15. The rest of the 22-man roster will be announced by MLS on Saturday.
