Jagielka expects Everton to employ attacking tactics against Liverpool

Everton defender Phil Jagielka expects to go on the attack against Liverpool this weekend.

Everton almost took a point off Manchester City with a defensive approach on Saturday.

Jagielka said: "At home we have been doing OK. We changed things around a little bit for the City game, so hopefully we can go back to the way we have been for the Liverpool game and put up a performance and try to get a win. It'll be nice to get back to that. It's still going to be hard against Liverpool. They've had a decent start to the season so we're not pretending we're up against a Liverpool that is struggling.

"They have brought in a lot of good players and a lot of good quality. As much as we say we are looking forward to the derby, we aren't expecting to automatically win it. But we will be trying our best to get three points, whereas against City it was more us looking for a draw and maybe nicking a goal."
