Hull City

Hull City have an opportunity to build on their promising start when Everton visit the MKM Stadium. The promoted side have collected eight points from five Premier League games and sit just one point behind the visitors. Sergej Jakirović is expected to favour a compact 5-4-1 formation, with Oliver McBurnie leading the line and Mohamed Belloumi providing an important attacking outlet.

Nobel Mendy is in contention for a place alongside John Egan and Semi Ajayi in central defence. His potential inclusion would give Hull another option at the back against Everton. Ryan Giles and Lewie Coyle are likely to take the wide defensive positions. Matt Crooks and Regan Slater should feature in midfield, while Sorba Thomas offers another threat from the flank.

Everton

Everton arrive at Hull unbeaten in their first five Premier League matches, having collected nine points. David Moyes will be looking to his attacking players to make the difference. Jack Grealish is a strong candidate to start again, alongside Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Brennan Johnson in the positions supporting striker Thierno Barry.

Vitalii Mykolenko is the likely starter at left-back, although Jake O'Brien provides another option should Moyes need to make a change. Jordan Pickford is expected in goal, with Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski in central defence. James Garner and Harrison Armstrong are likely to provide cover from midfield as Everton aim to balance defensive security with quick attacks.
