Hull City vs Everton

Hull City have found wins hard to come by, recording only one victory in their recent matches and suffering back-to-back defeats in their two most recent fixtures. They have shown some defensive resilience, keeping two clean sheets, but their inability to secure a win since August remains a concern. Conversely, Everton are unbeaten in all their recent matches, a run that includes three wins across Premier League and League Cup competitions. They have maintained a solid defensive record with four clean sheets during this period, while their attack has consistently found the net in both home and away settings.

• Everton are currently unbeaten in their listed matches, while Hull City have struggled to secure a win since late August.
• Hull City have a significant list of absences, with D. Gyabi, E. Matazo, I. Ansah, and J. Butland ruled out.
• Everton have three players in doubt for the fixture: C. Norgaard, M. Rohl, and V. Mykolenko.
• Hull City have recorded four clean sheets in their recent home matches across all competitions.
• Everton have been more prolific in the second half of matches, scoring seven of their nine goals after the break.

Everton arrive at the MKM Stadium with a stronger recent record and a clear unbeaten streak that contrasts with Hull City's recent difficulties. While Hull City have proven difficult to break down at home, the depth of their reported absences may complicate their efforts against an Everton side that has been effective at finding goals in the second half. This fixture appears to lean toward the visitors, though much will depend on how both sides have managed their three-week break since their last competitive outings.
