The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Ajax take on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool outfit in an important clash at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday.
Ajax vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are currently in eighth place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Merseyside giants suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle this week.
Ajax, on the other hand, are at the top of the Eredivisie table at the moment and have managed to hit their stride on the domestic front. The home side eased past RKC Waalwijk by a 4-1 margin over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
