Everton had quite a nice performance last weekend, but didn’t manage to stay undefeated away to Tottenham in their 2:1 narrow loss. They took the lead in 15th minute with a goal from Mirallas, while the hosts replied well with two goals till the halftime (21st minute Eriksen and 45th Soldado).
However, it has to be said that the visiting side had much more of the ball possession and had quite fair amount of goalscoring chances, actually deserving a draw in that game. They are having three victories at home in last four matches in all competitions and are surely aiming for another one tonight as they would approach even closer to European positions in case of a victory. James McCarthy and Steven Naismith are back in contention for this game after sitting out previous match. Central defenders John Stones (5/0) and Antolin Alcatraz (3/0) and left back Bryan Oviedo (1/0) and defensive midfielder Darron Gibson (6/0) all remain sidelined with long term injuries.
Hull didn’t manage to be competitive in away clash against Manchester United as they suffered 3:0 defeat. Game was already decided in the first halftime as the hosts had 2:0, while the visitors generally didn’t show anything in attack and had one of the most unimpressive performances in the season.
This was fourth consecutive defeat for the team, as they now have entered the relegation zone, having only a point less than rock bottom placed Leicester. Team is playing very uncreative and unimpressive football having scored only a single goal in last five encounters, quite lucky and early goal at home against Spurs three weeks ago. Offensive midfielder Gaston Ramirez (8/0) is suspended for this one, while forward Abel Hernandez (8/3) has been given a week of absence following birth of his child. Attacking midfielders Robert Snodgrass (1/0) and Robbie Brady (8/0)
will miss here too.
Everton have scored at least 2 goals in 11 of their last 12 home matches in the Premier League. Everton have scored at least 2 goals in their last 7 matches against Hull. Everton have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Hull.
Everton is playing very well in recent weeks, as they had eight matches undefeated run before last weekend. They did much better at home in previous games and have every reason to be big favorites against completely out of form Hull, team that hardly scores in away matches.
Bet: Everton Wins @ 1.55
