Liverpool team news
Liverpool continue to be somewhat short-staffed in midfield with Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Curtis Jones all out alongside centre-back Ibrahima Konate.
On the bright side, Thiago should be fit enough to start after coming off the bench last week, while Fabio Carvalho will also most likely be available again.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Ajax
Liverpool Starting 11 (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.
Bench: Adrian, Davies, Gomez, Phillips, Tsimikas, Milner, Bajcetic, Jota, Carvalho, Jones, Clark, Chambers.
Ajax team news
Owen Wijndal is the only first-team player likely to miss out for Ajax. There were concerns over Calvin Bassey, who picked up a knock at the weekend, but Alfred Schreuder is confident that the defender will be fit.
Following his excellent performance against Rangers, Mohammed Kudus is likely to get the nod ahead of Brian Brobbey up front.
Ajax predicted lineup vs Liverpool
Ajax Starting 11 (4-3-3): Pasveer; Rensch, Timber, Bassey, Blind; Berghuis, Alvarez, Taylor; Tadic, Kudus, Bergwijn.
Bench: Stekelenburg, Gorter, Magallan, Kaplan, Baas, Sanchez, Grillitsch, Klaassen, Ocampos, Lucca, Brobbey.
Liverpool will be giving everything they've got to get a good result following their defeat to Napoli and can undoubtedly cause the Ajax backline problems, while the return of Thiago is a huge boost.
However, Ajax have been in stellar form and will be licking their lips at the prospect of what has been a shaky Liverpool defence, with Steven Bergwijn likely to cause Trent Alexander-Arnold big problems.
A close game featuring a lot of goals seems likely.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Ajax
