Hull City host Everton at the MKM Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the sides’ first Premier League meeting since March 2017.
Everton are seventh and unbeaten, with the promoted Tigers one place and one point behind. Everton are unbeaten in five league games (W2 D3), while Hull won their first two without conceding, against Manchester United and Coventry City, and are winless in three since.
Their last league meeting was a 4-0 Everton win at Goodison Park. The Friedkin Group announced on Friday that it is exploring new investment in Everton, including the potential sale of a controlling interest, and David Moyes said he was surprised by the news.
