The Reds need to turn things around after a poor start of the season. Watch their game against Ajax to see if that happens against the Dutch side.

Liverpool face one of the toughest matches left for them in the group stage, and not only because of the team they will be facing. Klopp's men enter this match with serious doubts cast over their recent performances, and facing Ajax at home might not be as easy as some may believe.

On the other side, Ajax enter this match as group leaders and on the back of an impressive unbeaten run. Judging by their current streak, it seems that the Dutch side is enjoying life after Erik Ten Hag's departure to coach Manchester United, and with Alfred Schrueder at the helm, the team seems as a force to be reckoned with.

This will be the second time in the last three years in which these teams meet in the group stage of this competition. Ajax have been without a win against Liverpool for more than 50 years, and considering their current form, this could be the right time for them to end that streak.

Let's have a closer look at the main topics to keep an eye on ahead of this fixture.

Their first match in the Champions League concluded in a four-nil win over Rangers.
