Will Everton FC win on 2026-10-11?

Analysis

Everton arrive at the MKM Stadium unbeaten in seven games across all competitions, yet their five league matches have produced two wins and three draws. That is a side hard to beat but not one pulling clear of opponents, and it sits at the heart of why a Hull City win or a draw is the more likely outcome on Sunday 11 October. Hull are a promoted side who, according to official Premier League coverage from 28 September, have drawn with Aston Villa and Chelsea, with their only defeat coming in Matchweek Five against Newcastle. The records supplied disagree on the Coventry result, so that match is left out here. Hull's table position and goal difference are also not drawn on, since the supplied records are mixed on that front. Official previews describe Sergej Jakirovic's side as set up to move the ball forward quickly rather than dwell on it. One preview asks whether Hull can play more progressively against lower-ranking opposition, which makes this a test of their approach. Team news is mixed. Hull will be without Matt Targett, who twisted an ankle in training on Friday 9 October. Everton's David Moyes is hoping to have Vitalii Mykolenko fit, saying the left-back has a chance of playing after withdrawing from the Ukraine squad with a minor issue. The thing to watch is Mykolenko's fitness at kick-off. If he is cleared to start, Everton's case for a win improves.
