The UEFA Champions League returns with an exhilarating fixture this week as Liverpool host a free-scoring Ajax outfit at Anfield on Wednesday. Both sides have experienced mixed fortunes in the Champions League's proverbial group of death so far and are in contention for a spot in the knock-out stages of the competition.
Liverpool have not had the best of months and suffered a 2-0 defeat against Atalanta last week. The Merseyside giants can progress to the next stage of the competition with a victory in this fixture and have a point to prove against Erik ten Hag's swashbuckling side.
Ajax have been exceptional in the Eredivisie this season and have scored an astonishing 42 goals in only 10 league games so far. The Dutch giants do have a few defensive problems to solve in the Champions League and will have to be wary against a lethal Liverpool attack.
