ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL — After their scheduled Premier League meeting with Wolves was postponed over the weekend, Liverpool are set to complete an unusual Champions League double-header on Tuesday.
And they will be desperate to claim victory over Ajax at Anfield tonight to quickly exorcise the ghosts of the 4-1 thrashing they suffered at the hands of Napoli last time out.
Those three teams look likely to be the main contenders to progress from Group A, and so the importance of fixtures between them is obvious.
Another defeat in this one and Jurgen Klopp will have every reason to fear for his side’s prospects of reaching the knockout stages.
The Sporting News is following the match live and providing live score updates, commentary from Anfield.
