Liverpool would be hoping to bounce back from last week’s Champions League opener defeat to Napoli as they welcome Ajax to Anfield on Tuesday night for the second group stage fixture.
The Reds had little to cheer for on their midweek travels to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last time around with the home side Napoli shipping four goals past a hapless Liverpool who scored only once through Luis Diaz.
Jurgen Klopp’s men saw their weekend Premier League game postponed in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II’s death and would now be gearing up to play Ajax in a must-win game for the under-fire Merseysiders.
Ajax, meanwhile, enjoyed a super start to their Champions League campaign with a thumping 4-0 win over Scottish top flight side Rangers.

TEAM NEWS
Liverpool’s major concern on the injury front ahead of the upcoming match is Andy Robertson being sidelined with an injury which opens the door for Kostas Tsimikas to slot in the left-back role.
Both Thiago Alcantara and Fabio Carvalho are expected to prove their fitness levels to return to the matchday squad with the former tipped for a starting berth in midfield.
MATCH PREDICTION
Liverpool require a win to boost the underwhelming morale at Anfield and the home support could tip the scales in their favour against a high-flying Ajax side.
Liverpool 3-1 Ajax
