Alisson Becker is out of the Liverpool vs Ajax game, as per recent reports. Some 22 hours before the start of the game, it's still not certain what the reason for his absence is (injury or COVID-19), but it's almost 100% Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper will miss the game.
Adrian will step in, the man who kept a clean sheet against Ajax in their first clash of the season. This time, however, Adrian is going to have a much tougher job - practically all of Liverpool's first-team center-backs are injured.
Van Dijk is out, and so is Matip, meaning that Klopp will probably have to put Fabinho and Phillips in the center of the defense line.
More bad news for Liverpool fans is that this team also has problems in the right-back position. Alexander-Arnold has been injured for a couple of weeks already, while James Milner picked up an injury in the game with Brighton last weekend, which finished 1-1.
On the bright side, all of Liverpool's forwards are fit and eager to play. This goes especially for Mohamed Salah, who was visibly upset when Klopp subbed him off against Brighton. The Egyptian superstar has scored 8 goals in the Prem, as well as 2 goals in the Champions League. However, the last of those 10 goals happened almost a month ago. One could say that it's overdue.
When it comes to Ajax, this team's strongest weapon is their attack. For example, in the last five games (in all competitions), they scored a total of 18 goals. Moreover, we saw them scoring 13 goals in the Dutch domestic league on one occasion this season.
They obviously have what it takes to score against Liverpool, not to mention that they also have the motivation for that. The reason is that they're currently level pegging with Atalanta with 7 points each, which is 2 fewer than Liverpool. With a win or at least a draw in England, their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage of the UCL would go up immensely.
