Team News
Liverpool
The return to fitness of Thiago Alcantara against Napoli was a welcome boost to Klopp's depleted midfield, as the Reds prepare to work without Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones once again.

Fabio Carvalho will expect to force his way into contention having had ample time to recover from a dead leg, but Ibrahima Konate, Calvin Ramsay and Caoimhin Kelleher are also nursing issues of their own, and the former two are certainly set to miss out again.

Thiago's return to fitness should tempt Klopp into dropping James Milner from the first XI following his dismal outing in Napoli, while Joel Matip will expect to take the place of Joe Gomez in the heart of defence.

With Liverpool scheduled to take on Chelsea next Sunday, Klopp may still take this opportunity to rejig his attacking line with the inclusion of Diogo Jota in place of a misfiring Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Thiago; Jota, Nunez, Diaz

Ajax
During the latter stages of Ajax's contest with Rangers, celebrations quickly turned to concern for Bergwijn, who pulled up injured immediately after scoring his side's fourth but was given the green light to return against Heerenveen.

Left-back Owen Wijndal has returned to training following an ankle injury, but the clash with Liverpool will likely come too soon for him, and Ajax were forced to finish their 5-0 win over Heerenveen with 10 men after Calvin Bassey took a knock to the foot.

Schreuder affirmed after the game that the centre-back did not sustain any serious damage and could therefore be in contention for a start this week, while 20-year-old Kenneth Taylor should also hold his spot in the first XI.
Ajax possible starting lineup:
Pasveer; Rensch, Timber, Bassey, Blind; Berghuis, Alvarez, Taylor; Tadic, Kudus, Bergwijn
Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Ajax
