Liverpool journey to Ajax tonight with the odds stacked against them due to injuries. The Reds are still favourites but an adventurous Dutch side will be hoping to exploit defensive absences. Here is the confirmed Liverpool lineup to face Ajax:
Goalkeeper: Adrian
With Alisson out injured the Spaniard steps into the firing line once more.
Right back: Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Scouser in our team will have to reshoulder the creative burden with Thiago injured.
Centre back: Joe Gomez
The Englishman faces the biggest months of his career with his big brother injured for the season. Tonight is the first test.
Centre back: Fabinho
Fabby will have to line up in the defence with Joel Matip also out injured.
Left back: Andy Robertson
Andy Robbo, published author, has started the season magnificently. Fingers crossed he maintains his strong form tonight.
Centre midfield: Curtis Jones
The Scouser gets a shock start in the midfield, a huge show of faith in the young man.
Centre midfield: James Milner
The experienced pro starts with injuries affording him an opportunity.
Centre midfield: Gini Wijnaldum
The Dutchman returns to his homeland intent on upsetting the locals.
Right wing: Mo Salah
Mo will need to pull out a big performance, we can’t rely on a clean sheet.
Left wing: Sadio Mane
Sadio has been a stand out performer this season, another match winning display is crucial.
Striker: Bobby Firmino
Bobby Firmino needs to step up tonight, he hasn’t been at his best this season – fingers crossed he gives us a reminder of his quality.
