Ray Houghton believes Liverpool will show signs of a revival when they take on Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night.Last season's finalists have made an indifferent start to the new Premier League and European campaign, with the nadir coming last Wednesday when they were comprehensively dismantled 4-1 at Napoli.Jurgen Klopp's side will hope to get their Champions League group stage journey back on track when Ajax visit Anfield (live on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player from 7.30pm) and with their weekend game against Wolves postponed after the death of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, ex-Liverpool and Republic of Ireland midfielder Houghton thinks the Reds will have ironed out some of the issues that have affected them."The whole team from front to back weren't doing their jobs as a defensive unit [against Napoli]," he told RTÉ's Morning Ireland."That's something (Klopp) has been working on the last few days and I think you're going to see a different Liverpool in tonight's match against Ajax."It's a game they need to win.

If they're going to qualify out of the group, they can't afford to lose tonight because having lost the first game 4-1 and Ajax beating Rangers 4-0, Napoli and Ajax are in the box seats at the moment."Liverpool face Ajax live on @RTE2 & @RTEplayer tonight Graham Gartland and Ollie Cahill discuss the question marks from their mixed start to the season #RTESoccerPodcast
