Tomorrow's derby
Pilot’s Log (Don Kendall)
Everton in their bid to get away from the bottom of the table, are recalling 1939 stars, in Boyes and Bentham, to link up with the championship colleagues Sagar, Tommy Jones, Watson and Stevenson who have played previously this season, while Jock Dodds returns to lead the forwards. Maybe the most interesting Everton move in the playing of Welsh international, Aubrey Powell, at outside left as partner to Stevenson, Powell was originally a winger, and I have a feeling that he may solve one of the Toffee’s most-pressing problems, Everton have secured only three out of 16 points played for, whereas Liverpool have gained seven from a similar number of games. Taking a line through Liverpool’s brilliance against Arsenal on Wednesday indications are that this will bring another Red victory. Everton’s recent run of six out of eight games without scoring a goal is easily the worst in the history of the club, but the “new look” team promises much at least on paper. Liverpool’s main worry is lack of “weight” when it comes to rounding off attacks, but Jimmy Payne is a definite “find” at outside right, and the side has the advantage of a magnificent half-back line and powerful defence. Everything points to a Liverpool win, but this is a “Derby” game, and it would be typical of Everton to go out there and pull off a sensation.
Everton; Sagar; Saunders, Hedley; Bentham, Jones, Watson; Powell, Fielding, Dodds, Stevenson, Boyes. Liverpool; Sidlow; Shepherds, Lambert; Taylor, Jones, Paisley; Payne, Balmer, Shannon, Fagan, Liddell.
The Reserves “Derby” is due to start at Anfield at 11 o’clock and this will give everyone a chance to see the young professionals – an opportunity no one should miss.
