Liverpool Vs Ajax: Talking Tactics
Jurgen Klopp will make use of the 4-3-3 formation allowing Thiago Alcantara to dominate the midfield by keeping possession while Darwin Nunez leads the charge up top. Joel Matip and Vergil Van Dijk would form the centre-half partnership to stop the opposition in their tracks.
Alfred Schreuder will utilise his own 4-3-3 formation against the Reds as Mohammed Kudus leads the line with the support of Steven Bergwijn and Dusan Tadic in the frontline. Remko Pasveer will function in between the sticks for the visitors hoping to put up a strong performance.
Team News
Liverpool
Klopp will again be working without the services of Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones with all four of them in the treatment room nursing their respective injuries. Fabio Carvalho could return to the squad in the midfield after recovering from a dead leg. Ibrahima Konate and Calvin Ramsay remain doubtful as they are still recovering to full fitness.
Liverpool Predicted XI
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Ajax
Owen Wijndal returned to training after recovering from an ankle injury but the Ajax boss would be cautious of not allowing him to start too soon. Other than that, Steven Bergwijn had pulled up injured but recovered before the previous fixture, so he would be fully fit to feature in the frontline and Clavin Bassey took a knock in the previous match but has been cleared for selection for the upcoming clash.
Ajax Predicted XI
Pasveer; Rensch, Timber, Bassey, Blind; Berghuis, Alvarez, Taylor; Tadic, Kudus, Bergwijn
