Hull City v Everton: confirmed lineups and pre-match updates for Premier League round six

Hull City host Everton at the MKM Stadium on October 11, 2026, in a Premier League round-six fixture, with Everton resuming league play for the first time since the Friedkin Group announced its decision to sell the club.

Hull are managed by Sergej Jakirovic and remain a promoted side in a strong early-season position despite dropping points in three league games before the international break — four in all. Hull entered the break in 10th place with eight points (2 wins, two draws, and one loss) after suffering their first defeat of the campaign to Newcastle. Everton sit one point above them in eighth with a record of 2W, 3D, 0L and have not lost in the league this season.

The club's owners said on Friday they plan to seek outside investment in Everton, a development that precedes the Toffees' return to Premier League action and which the report says could influence the squad; it will be intriguing to watch how David Moyes’ players respond. Evertonians will be looking for a composed performance as the team adjusts to the off-field announcement.

Since 2000, Everton have dominated the head-to-head with Hull, winning six of the last eleven meetings while Hull have beaten Everton twice in that span. Across all meetings between the clubs, Everton have 11 victories to Hull's seven, with six draws recorded.

Defensively Everton enter the match on the back of three successive Premier League clean sheets prior to the break and held the division's joint-best defensive record going into the international pause. James Tarkowski leads the league in success percentage among players who have engaged in 15 or more duels, registering an 83% success rate.

Everton supporters will be aware that a poor result could see their side lose position relative to Hull, who sit one point lower in the table. The promoted Tigers' early-season form means the encounter has immediate relevance to both sides' standing.
