Everton welcome Hull City at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool, Merseyside on Saturday, May 8 at 4:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Everton come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Hull City travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Everton won their last outing, while Hull City suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Everton here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Hull City, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hull City won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Everton a slight edge, but Hull City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
