Hull City host Everton at KCOM Stadium on Friday, Dec.30. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Everton are looking to win their first consecutive away games since beating West Brom and Sunderland over three months ago. The Toffees are coming off a workmanlike win away to Leicester on Boxing Day, their first on the road since beating Sunderland 3-0 on Sept. 12.
Romelu Lukaku scored his 10th league goal against Leicester and now has six of Everton’s 11 away goals. Lukaku will be licking his chops in anticipation of playing the Premier League’s second worst defense.
Hull have conceded 39 goals in 18 top-flight matches, a record that is only better than lowly Swansea, who have allowed a staggering 41 goals. Hull’s last win came at home on Nov. 6 against Southampton and they’ll be hoping to climb closer to safety with what would be a crucial victory.
Joel Robles will get the nod in goal again for Everton, as Maarten Stekelenburg is still recovering from the dead leg he received in the Merseyside Derby loss to Liverpool. James McCarthy is out for another fortnight with yet another hamstring injury.

It will almost two years to the day when these two teams last played each other in the Premier League, an encounter which Hull won on New Year’s Day 2015. Don’t expect the same outcome this time around, though, as Everton should enter the match with some confidence after the Leicester match.
Both teams have struggled for large portions of the season, with Hull one of the obvious favorites to make the drop to the Championship at season’s end. Lukaku has scored in two of his last three matches against the Tigers so look for the big Belgian to continue his success and bag another against a poor Hull side.
