Premier League champions Liverpool will face Ajax in their Champions League group.
The Reds were drawn in Group D with the Dutch giants, Italian side Atalanta and Danish outfit Midtjylland at UEFA’s draw in Geneva this afternoon.
The 2018/19 Champions League winners have only played Ajax twice previously in competitive action. Both of those meetings were in a 1966 European Cup tie. Ajax thrashed the Reds 5-1 in Amsterdam, before going on to record a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s side will be hoping for a better head-to-head record from their next two encounters.
The Reds have never played Serie A outfit Atalanta nor Denmark’s Midtjylland before.
Midtjylland, who are owned by Brentford owner Matthew Benham, have been beaten by all three English teams they have faced in European competition previously: Manchester City, Southampton and Manchester United.
The Reds were knocked out of last season’s competition in the round of 16 by Spanish side Atletico Madrid.
