Hull City host Everton aiming to build on recent form
Hull City welcome Everton to MKM Stadium for a Premier League fixture that pits two sides with contrasting recent patterns against one another. The hosts have won once, drawn twice and lost twice in their last five, a sequence that reads LDLDW, while Everton arrive unbeaten in the same span, with two wins and three draws across their last five matches.
Form guide
Everton's record of two wins from their recent outings gives them a slight edge over Hull City's single win in the same stretch, though neither side has strung together a long unbeaten run this term. Hull City's most recent result was a win, offering some encouragement after back-to-back losses earlier in that sequence.
Everton, by contrast, have not lost in their last five, with three of those results ending level. That consistency, even without a string of wins, suggests a side that has avoided slipping into a losing habit heading into this fixture.
History between the sides
The two clubs have met several times in recent years, with Everton holding the upper hand in the most recent meetings. Everton won 3-2 in an FA Cup tie in January 2022 and beat Hull City 4-0 in a Premier League fixture in March 2017. There was also a 2-2 draw between the sides in December 2016.
Hull City's last win over Everton in this fixture list came on New Year's Day 2015, a 2-0 scoreline, while a December 2014 meeting ended 1-1. That history shows a side capable of getting results against Everton, even if the more recent meetings have favoured the visitors.
