Liverpool were sent a warning by their upcoming UEFA Champions League opponents Ajax.

The Reds have endured a mixed start to the season.

A draw with Everton on Saturday in the Premier League also resulted in an injury to star defender Virgil Van Dijk.

Now they take on the Dutch giants, who thrashed Heerenveen 5-1 in the Eredivisie.

Mohammed Kudus, Davey Klassen, Anthony dos Santos, and two from Dusan Tadic got the three points for Ajax.

Liverpool will be hoping they can subdue that attacking talent when the two teams meet in midweek.
