Kelleher preferred over Adrian, Henderson returns – Confirmed LFC team vs Ajax

Jordan Henderson

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for tonight’s Champions League clash against Ajax.

The Reds boss makes five changes to the side that faced Brighton at the weekend as the likes of Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane return.

Caoimhin Kelleher starts between the sticks, with Alisson out as a precaution due to a tight muscle. Neco Williams, Joel Matip, Fabinho and Andy Robertson line up in the Liverpool back-line.

Jordan Henderson partners Gini Wijnaldum and Curtis Jones in midfield, while Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah link up in attack.

Liverpool: Kelleher, N. Williams, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Mane, Salah, Jota.

Substitutes: Adrian, Jaros, Firmino, Minamino, Tsimikas, Origi, R. Williams, Cain, Clarkson.

Ajax: Onana; Mazraoui, Schuurs, Blind, Tagliafico; Gravenberch, Álvarez, Klaassen; Neres, Tadic, Antony.

Substitutes: Stekelenburg, Scherpen, Timber, Klaiber, Huntelaar, Promes, Ekkelenkamp, Labyad, Martinez, Traore.
