Ajax manager John van ’t Schip gave Jordan Henderson his first start. Josip Sutalo passed a fitness test to start the match. The away side started the game with Ismael Saibari. The midfielder only returned from the Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday after getting knocked out by Morocco. A reason for the start was that midfielders Joey Veerman and Malik Tillman were injured.
Ajax won their third league match in a row after the winter break on Saturday. John van 't Schip's side defeated Heracles Almelo 2-4.

AZ is now closest to Ajax in points but still has the match against SC Heerenveen (also on Sunday) to play.
