Everton – Hull City

Everton host Hull City in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Toffees sitting eighth on six points after one win and three draws, scoring five and conceding three. Hull City arrive in good form, occupying third place with eight points from two victories and two stalemates, and a slightly better defensive record, having let in just two goals while also netting five. The gap between the sides is narrow, and both teams will be eager to improve their goal differences as the race for European spots intensifies. A win for either side could see Hull City push further into the top‑two, while Everton will look to climb out of the mid‑table and close the gap on the leaders.
