LIV vs AJA Dream11 Prediction: Liverpool are without further margin for error following their shocking display against Atalanta. The Reds lost 0-2 at Anfield in what was a genuinely shocking display from the 2019 winners. Yes, Jurgen Klopp‘s men were without several key players, but you at least expect Klopp’s team to show some offensive mettle, at least at home. Liverpool failed to get a shot at the target, which was kind of an anomaly, something unheard of. Even the commentators failed to mention the last time when Liverpool didn’t have even a single shot at the target at home.
But the Reds remain in a good position. A draw here at home against Ajax won’t be a bad result considering Liverpool are at the top holding a two-point advantage over both Ajax and Atalanta going into round-5. Here is everything you may want to know about LIV vs AJA Dream 11 Match Prediction.
Liverpool vs Ajax: Champions League Fixtures
Date & Time: 01:30 AM (IST), December 2
Venue: Anfield
Recent form:
Liverpool: Klopp was fuming when an unjust penalty was awarded to Brighton in the dying second of the Premier League clash at the weekend. Pascal Groß held his nerve and rescued a point from the Seagulls. That result stopped Liverpool from topping the table this week.
That said, Klopp won’t be entirely dissatisfied with the result in recent games considering the lengthy injury list he is contending with at the moment.
Ajax: The Dutch giants are two points clear already at the top in Eredivisie. But the four-time European Champions need to pull Liverpool up from winning the game, possibly do an Atalanta here to stay alive in the last-16 race.
Head-to-head:
Despite winning a combined 10 titles, both Liverpool and Ajax have faced only three times in the past. The reverse fixture was the first meeting between these two goliaths of European football, which Liverpool won by an odd goal, courtesy of Nicolas Tagliafico‘s own goal.
Liverpool drew 2-2 at home against Ajax in 1966 during the group stage game, with the Dutch giants winning the home leg 5-1.
Liverpool Wins- 01
Draws– 01
Ajax Wins– 01
Last meeting: 1-0 away win for Liverpool in the reverse fixture.

LIV vs AJA Dream11 Prediction Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups
Liverpool Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability: No other manager in Europe is dealing with so many injuries at the moment as Klopp is forced to do. His options went down the hill once again at the weekend when Mr versatile James Milner pulled his hamstring. The former Leeds United prodigy is ruled out of this game.
In addition, Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez both continue to recover from long-term injuries and won’t be seen anytime soon. The duo could even miss the rest of the season.
Klopp provided updates regarding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Thiago, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The trio has sped up their recoveries in recent weeks but remains out of contention at the moment.
Winger Xherdan Shaqiri and midfielder Naby Keita both will be assessed before the LIV vs AJA Dream11 Team Prediction game.
Centre-back Nathaniel Phillips is not part of the Champions League squad and won’t be involved.
Expected changes: Captain Jordan Henderson came off the bench in the last game which means, he should be okay to play against Ajax.
With Milner and Trent both out, Neco Williams will be starting at right-back, while Matip, rested against Brighton at the weekend, should marshall the troops at the back. That means Fabinho could move further upfield take play at his natural position, with Wijnaldum as the 3rd midfielder.
Mane was benched at the weekend, which means, he will start here, while Jota and Salah should also start the match.
LIV Playing 11 (probables):
Alisson (GK)

Jones
Henderson
Wijnaldum

X-factors, differential picks
Dusan Tadic: Can play in a variety of positions. Loves to track back and play link-up play with some finesse. He is crucial here for the away team’s chances in this match.
