The newcomer has already proven his worth: prediction for Hull City vs Everton
The sixth-round clash of the English championship between Hull City and Everton will take place on October 11, 2026, at MKM Stadium in Hull. The hosts are eighth and trail their opponents by just one point, while David Moyes' side sit seventh and remain one of the few Premier League teams yet to lose.
Hull City: results have dipped, but the quality of play remains high
Sergej Jakirović's side made a spectacular return to the Premier League after a nine-year absence, opening the season with wins over Manchester United 2-0 and Coventry 1-0. Three winless rounds followed, although their performances remained convincing: Hull drew 0-0 with Aston Villa, 2-2 with Chelsea and narrowly lost 2-1 to Newcastle.
Most importantly, the team does not crumble against more high-profile opponents and continues to create plenty of chances. In the last round, Hull registered 22 shots against Newcastle, showing that even amid less-than-perfect results, the hosts have retained their bold and competitive style.
Everton: unbeaten consistency
David Moyes' side have yet to lose a league match. After a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, they drew three games in a row against Bournemouth, Manchester United and Tottenham, before the international break the Toffees narrowly defeated Ipswich 1-0.
Everton are not known for their prolific scoring, but they control matches well and allow opponents very little. The team have already kept two clean sheets in five rounds, while their organization has made them one of the most consistent sides in the middle section of the table.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Everton have not lost in the current league campaign.
- Hull have picked up points in four of their first five Premier League rounds.
- Since the start of the 2000s, Everton have won six of the 11 head-to-head meetings, while Hull have prevailed twice.
The teams are closely matched: prediction for Hull City vs Everton
The hosts look significantly stronger than could have been expected from a league newcomer and have already proven they can compete on equal terms with teams near the top of the table. Their current winless run does not look like a sign of a serious slump; rather, it appears to be the result of a difficult schedule.
Everton are more consistent and have managed results better so far, but there will be no easy ride away against an energetic Hull side. The gap between the teams is minimal, so the most likely scenario is one featuring both teams scoring and the points being shared.
