TOWN'S TEAM vs. EVERTON

Posted on: Wed 25 Aug 2010

Huddersfield Town Manager Lee Clark has made four changes to the starting line-up for tonight's Carling Cup Second Round tie at Everton; kick-off 8pm at Goodison Park.

The big news is that Derby County loanee Lee Croft (pictured) will make his full Huddersfield Town debut on the right wing - he replaces Anthony Pilkington, who is left out due to a slight knock he is currently carrying.

Gary Naysmith returns at left back following his one match suspension, replacing Graham Carey, whereas Gary Roberts returns to the left wing berth after being on the bench at Peterborough on Saturday.

The final change comes in attack, where Theo Robinson makes his first start of the season at the expense of Jordan Rhodes. Joe Garner is the other man to miss out at the expense of the aforementioned Roberts.

The Terriers look likely to line up in a 4-4-1-1 formation this evening, with England under-21 goalkeeper Alex Smithies protected by a back four including former Evertonians Peter Clarke and Naysmith, with Jamie McCombe and one-time Liverpool man Lee Peltier completing the four.

Midfield will consist of former Everton season ticket holder Roberts on the left wing, full debutant Croft on the right and a central midfield pairing of Joey Gudjonsson and Damien Johnson with Scott Arfield playing just off Robinson in attack.
