LIVE: Ajax vs Liverpool - Jurgen Klopp's side win Champions League opener in Amsterdam after bizarre Nicolas Tagliafico own goal gives Reds victory and a CLEAN SHEET in their first match after Virgil Van Dijk's injury

Liverpool travel to Amsterdam to take on Dutch champions Ajax in their Champions League opening group game on Wednesday night as Jurgen Klopp's injury hit side look to start their European campaign with three points.

These two teams could have met in the 2019 final, but Lucas Moura's last-minute winner sent Tottenham through to the showpiece in Madrid, where Liverpool were crowned European champions for the sixth time.

But Ajax get their chance to face Klopp's side tonight, who are without injured trio Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Alisson Becker in Holland this evening.
