Predicted Liverpool starting XI vs Ajax: Fabinho dropped as Klopp makes four changes
Liverpool is once more turning to the Champions League to recover from a disappointing loss in the English Premier League.
A trip to Amsterdam for the Merseysiders’ group stage match against Ajax offers the tantalizing possibility of advancement to the knockout stages, provided at least a draw is obtained.
It will be much easier to accomplish that goal with the probable returns of Thiago Alcantara (out with an ear infection) and Darwin Nunez (not risked due to a minor muscle issue).
Jurgen Klopp is set to select a center-back pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez once more in place of Alisson Becker in goal.
With Mo Salah and Fabio Carvalho as the players on the flanks, our No. 6 and Jordan Henderson appear ready to return to the middle of the pitch.
Our Uruguayan international is expected to rejoin a two-man assault that also features Bobby Firmino up top.
Liverpool predicted Starting XI: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Thiago, Carvalho, Salah, Nunez, Firmino
