Rafa Benitez at London Stadium on Monday
Benitez will be the guest on Monday Night Football as West Ham host Arsenal at the London Stadium, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
The former Newcastle, Chelsea and Liverpool boss, who has been linked with West Ham in recent weeks, will join presenter David Jones and Jamie Carragher, who he managed during a six-year spell at Liverpool.
Benitez is now in charge of Chinese Super Club Dalian Yifang but any potential buy-out clause, one of the biggest obstacles in his way is much more likely to be the tax it would cost him to leave China.
Benitez is on £12m-a-year and the tax rules mean it would be hard financially to leave even if he wanted to.
His presence on Monday night at West Ham is a pure coincidence and with Manuel Pellegrini still in post there are no clandestine meetings planned.
