Ajax host on fire third place AZ in the late afternoon match on Sunday. This will be a stiff challenge to a team that has to win out the rest of the way. van der Hoorn will be back from suspension but no word yet about Sinkgraven's availability. The €50M man and Mr. Irreplaceable will really have to step up their games in the midfield for Ajax to do well. Will FdB come out with a 3-4-3 with Milik leading the line?

Cant see him going with 3-4-3 v AZ .Excelsior attack was non existent but AZ are in a different class.

Defeat is written all over this game. I hope it will be Frank de Boer's last, but that is just wishful thinking.

v d Hoorn back for v Bruggen is the only change .Sinkgraven still not fit so Muric stays

ADO go for a 0-0 draw in Eindhoven but PSV get two goals in the last 20 minutes to win it. Pressure building for a win tomorrow.

Must win game if we are to even have a pretense of winning the league -- though I think most of us see that (winning the league) as an extremely long shot, at best.

v d Hoorn back and Schone on the bench ie 4-3-3 again. a must win game

Think a few guys will be late watching with Man u Arsenal still on.Ajax comes first with me ,watching the preview on Sky.

Lovely work by Gudelj and nice finish by Milik for 1-0

Milik gets us off to a great start! 1-0

An impossible to miss set up for Younes -- but somehow he manages not to get it past the goalie -- takes real talent to blow it like that.

Another lovely goal ,well taken by Klaassen

Younes makes amends with a centering pass from close to the end line for Klaassen to put away. 2-0.

Younes fails to convert another setup -- so we go into half time 2-0 up. Could have been 4-0 if Younes had been able to convert those two setups.

Well we played well ,cannot say there is anything boring so far from us.Gudelj is having a good game. 2 well made goals but we should have got the 3rd by now.

Klaassen showing El Ghazi how to do it.3-0 should be it. No way is that a yellow let alone a sending off

There is your third goal SPL -- Klaassen's second. Amazing what the boys can do when the don't play pitty pat and go on the attack.

was about to say Muric should come on soon for El Ghazi,dreadful booking by ref .

Did anyone else find the first yellow bizarre too? It was like the ref only pulled out the card AFTER el Ghazi tried to apologize...

Oh well AZ is not creating too much trouble so I think we'll see this one out.

Well, they got one back -- it's going to be a long 25 mins. now.

Oh dear a goal caused by us pressing too many up front. V Rhijn on means 5 defenders

Why did I say that??? Really nice counter from AZ by the way, whether it should be possible for them to get a 2v2 when we're up 3–0 and down a man is another question.

What a great finish, we are playing against 12 men

Who woulda thunk it? Milik scores a short handed goal to make it 4-1!!

A terrific performance considering the ref did his best with a shocking decision.Not sure I agreed with bringing V Rhijn or Serero on but we defended well and ended up with a4th.
