Liverpool are only minutes away from a crucial Champions League match against Ajax in Amsterdam. Kick-off from the Johan Cruyff ArenA is at 20:00 BST and the Reds can advance to the Champions League knock-out round with a win or a draw.
Jürgen Klopp has made 3 changes to the Liverpool side that lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Darwin Núñez, Jordan Henderson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all slot back into the starting lineup.
Defender Ibrahima Konaté is available off the bench after Klopp said he would be available in his press conference on Tuesday. There is a good chance that with the manager's preference for squad rotation in European matches, that Konaté and plenty of other players on the bench will see action tonight.

LFC Globe Verdict
This is a solid lineup for a Liverpool team that need just one point in Amsterdam to secure the Champions League knock-out stage. The front 3 is one that should be able to score. Tonight's backline should continue to look like this moving forward in our opinion.
Joe Gomez has been a big improvement over the injured Joel Matip. I think with the changes Klopp has made to the lineup, the Reds will win tonight. Another 2-1 victory over Ajax will see Liverpool through to the knock-out round.
