7th march 2010: Everton - Hull City
EVERTON
Everton have won their last five at Goodison Park, Moyes is enthusiast of the team's performance against Chelsea and Manchester Utd (2 wins) “It was a great result and you don't beat the big teams that often so we are delighted. I have said for a while on our day we can be a match for the teams above. We have not got everyone fit but I think it shows the spirit we have got. I think we can play better and I think we will."
Everton midfielder Tim Cahill is still to return to training after suffering a calf injury two weeks ago but has not been ruled out by manager David Moyes.
Phil Jagielka, recently returned from a long-term knee injury, is doubtful due to a slight thigh strain, as is Leon Osman after a blow to the foot.
Top scorer Louis Saha (hamstring) is again ruled out and James Vaughan will be assessed after suffering a knock playing for the reserves in midweek. In defence, Philippe Senderos (hip) is hoping to prove his fitness but Tony Hibbert (groin) is still out. Marouane Fellaini (ankle) will miss the rest of the season.

HULL CITY
Hull City have yet to win away from home this season taking just four points from 14 matches. There will be a lot pressure on players to get results here as there's a little chance if they take advantage of the many outfit and missing players on the Everton side.
Hull manager Phil Brown has revealed Jimmy Bullard could start.
The midfielder, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since December, was left out of the squad for the defeat against West Ham United two weeks ago but has since played for the reserves and in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Doncaster this week.
Geovanni (knee) is fit but Anthony Gardner is facing six weeks on the sidelines with an ankle problem while Stephen Hunt and Dean Marney are doubts.
Craig Fagan will definitely miss the match following his red card against the Hammers.
Away form: LLDLLDDLLL
Overall form: LLDDLDDWLL

VERDICT
On the paper is an easy bet on Everton. But as Hull won't have anything to lose on this match they will start aggressively and could cause some trouble on Everton with many outfit and injured players. It's all about who's going to score first: Hull will defend the result desperately while an Everton goal will mentally break down Hull.
Take Everton to win but also consider a high probability of a draw...
