ELEVEN TO MEET EVERTON AT GOODISON.

Liverpool have made four changes in the team to oppose Everton in the 67 th league “Derby” at Goodison Park tomorrow –three of them actual and the fourth positional. Morrsion who makes his first appearance of the season, displaces Savage at right half; Taylor is at outside right for Nieuwenhuys, Wright, who has been on the injured list, resumes at inside left, and Hanson reverts to his usual place at outside left, Carr being omitted. Wright had a trial at Anfield today and came through it satisfactorily. Everton play the eleven that drew at Grimsby.

Hodgson Needs One Goal For His 200

By the Pilot.

If Gordon Hodgson, Liverpool's South African forward scores in the “Derby” game at Goodison tomorrow, it will be his 200th Football league goal for the Reds. I can visualize a tremendous cheer going up if Gordon gets the ball past Sagar. In my opinion the result of the match depends on the respective attacks. As far as defences are concerned, few clubs in the country can claim such consistency. Then so far as the intermediary lines are concerned there is not a great deal to chosen. It is a pity that Bradshaw knee injury will prevent him playing for Liverpool, but the Reds have found a useful third-back exponent in Norman Low. Low may lack something in experience and he will have a particularly hard task in facing Dixie Dean.

The Solution.

The solution of the problem lies in the hands of the forwards. Neither club has been entirely satisfied with their attack this term. Both have suffered because there has been too much individualism and too little cohesive endeavour. So far as Everton are concerned Cunliffe and Stevenson must learn when and where to part with the ball instead of trying to accomplish too much off their own bat. It is sufficient to beat one man and draw another. If they will do that, then Stein Dean, and Leyfield should have a happy time. Low must take upon himself the express duty of keeping Dean in check. Given the slightest scope Dixie will prove a thorn in the side of the Reds. The balance of success in these “Derby” matches is with Everton. Everton have won 15 games at Goodison Park and 14 at Anfield, while Lliverpool have won 10 times at Goodison Park, and 10 times at home. Eight Goodison Park matches have ended with honours even, and there have been nine draws at Anfield. One Everton player Leyfield will be playing in his first “Derby” match, and Liverpool may have three “Derby” debutants in Blenkinsop, Low and Carr. Everton:- Sagar; Cresswell, Cook; Britton, Gee Thomson; Leyfield, Cunliffe, Dean, Stevenson, Stein. Liverpool: Riley; Steel, Blenkinsop; Morrison, Low, McDougall; Taylor, Hogson, English, Wright, Hanson.
