Hull City vs Everton team news and expert analysis
The club from MKM Stadium surprised everyone last season, first breaking into the Championship's top six and then winning the playoffs. The upsets continued in the Premier League: they opened with a 2-0 victory away to Manchester United, then went on to pick up points against Coventry, Aston Villa and Chelsea, although they were knocked out of the League Cup after a 0-1 defeat to Sunderland. Only in the most recent round did they lose, going down 1-2 to Newcastle.
The Merseyside side was even considered a contender for European football in 2025/2026. However, they ultimately finished 13th with 49 points, losing out on a higher position on additional criteria. They have also made a respectable start this time around: they have already come through two rounds of the League Cup and remain unbeaten in the league, including a 1-0 victory over Ipswich just before the international break.
The Premier League newcomers are currently averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match. Grealish and his teammates have the same attacking average — 1.2 goals scored. However, they are defending better, conceding half as many goals — just 0.6 per game.
