Everton travel to Hull City on Sunday in their first league match since the Friedkin Group announced it is exploring new investment in the club, including the potential sale of a controlling interest.
David Moyes’s side are seventh and unbeaten after five league games. Moyes said he was surprised by the announcement, adding that he had sensed signs of it during the summer transfer window.
Everton team news
Everton have no confirmed absentees for the trip to Hull. Merlin Rohl and Christian Norgaard will be assessed before Moyes finalises his travelling party. Vitaliy Mykolenko is also being monitored, although Moyes has noted that the extra day of recovery could help him, and he is expected to start at left-back.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and Mykolenko are predicted in front of Jordan Pickford, with Maitland-Niles among the players to have scored for Everton this season. James Garner and Harrison Armstrong are expected to form the midfield pair. Brennan Johnson, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish are predicted behind Thierno Barry, who is the only Everton player with more than one league goal, having scored twice.
