Team news & squads
Ajax team news
Benjamin Tahirovic, who was influential in Ajax's 2-1 comeback win against FC Twente, could replace Branco van den Boomen in the middle of the park.
While Jordan Henderson is knocking on the door for a return to the fold after injury, the game may come too soon to start from the get-go for the England international.
Although head coach Van't Schip has plenty of options at his disposal to rotate his side, he could opt against making those after an extended break from their last game on April 14.
