Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson, right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and forward Darwin Nunez all return to the starting XI.
Jurgen Klopp, unsurprisingly, names his strongest available side with Liverpool aiming to get qualification in the bag tonight.
Those are the three changes from the Reds’ chastening 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Liverpool starting XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson, Nunez, Salah, Firmino.
Hosts Ajax, who need a win to stand any chance of reaching the last 16, name the same side which won 4-1 at RKC Waalwijk at the weekend.
Former Southampton forward Dusan Tadic skippers the side as usual, with ex-Spurs man Steven Bergwijn providing support in attack.
Klopp to leave Liverpool
Former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager, Tim Sherwood, has claimed Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp will the Premier League side at the end of this season.
Sherwood believes Klopp has taken the club as far as he can and will leave Anfield in the summer.
“The problem Liverpool have got is this team is used to challenging for titles,” he said on the Kelly and Wrighty Show.
“It’s gone for them this season. They’re not going to win the Premier League, so where’s the motivation and drive from the players?
“The club will say they cannot be out of the Champions League, but it can be tough for players when they’ve challenged for titles and all of a sudden it’s taken away from them. I think it’s very difficult for them.
“I don’t think Jurgen Klopp is there next season. There’s a conversation to be had. I’m not sure Jurgen picks them up from where they are and makes them challengers again, I really don’t. History says he doesn’t do that. He’s very good and drives teams all the way. But it’s going to be a fight to get in the top-four now. If they miss out on the top four it’s a rebuild, a total rebuild.
“I don’t think they’ll sack him, but there will be a conversation where both parties agree that Jurgen has taken them as far as he can and they go for a new challenge. That’s just my hunch when I look at him and the team.”
