Hull's league form is more mixed. They opened with a home win over Manchester United and followed it with an away win at Coventry, then drew with Aston Villa at home and Chelsea away, before losing 2-1 at Newcastle in their most recent outing. Both clubs have also had midweek League Cup games, Everton losing 4-0 at Preston and Hull losing 1-0 at Sunderland, though those results sit outside the league picture.

Everton's unbeaten league sequence is longer, but Hull have not lost a Premier League game on their own patch yet.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hull City vs Everton

Head-to-head history

The two clubs have met seven times in the data we have, stretching from 2013 to a 2022 FA Cup tie that Everton won 3-2 away. Across that spread, Everton have generally come out on top, including a 4-0 win at Goodison Park in 2017. That said, this history is old enough that it says little about either side's current level.

Where they sit in the table

Everton are seventh with nine points from five games, Hull eighth with eight points from the same number of matches. It's an early-season snapshot rather than anything settled, but the gap between the two sides right now is just one point and one goal difference.

Key contributors and discipline

Hull's clearest attacking source has been M. Belloumi, with two goals and two assists in five appearances, making him central to whatever they create going forward. On the disciplinary side, O. McBurnie and M. Crooks have both picked up three yellow cards apiece already this season, which is worth keeping an eye on given how quickly that can add up.

Hull City:

Best scorers:

M. Belloumi - 2

Best assist providers:

M. Belloumi - 2

Penalty cards:

O. McBurnie x 3

M. Crooks x 3

Everton:

Penalty cards:

J. Garner x 2

Everton's J. Garner has two yellow cards from his five games, a more modest total by comparison. None of this confirms who will or won't play, but it does point to where each side's rhythm and risk currently sit.

How this one could go

Everton go in as the quoted favourites, and their unbeaten run in the league supports that standing. But Hull have not dropped points at home in the Premier League this season, and their win over Manchester United shows they can raise their level against bigger opposition.

Goals have been fairly evenly shared in both team's league matches so far, without either side being involved in especially high or low-scoring games. That points to a contest that could easily stay tight rather than open up.
