<date>September 19, 2026</date>, <city>LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND</city> - The Premier League football season is about to resume after an 84-day international break, with Everton FC heading to <city>HULL</city> to face their historic rivals, Hull City.
Everton have been praised for their decision to allow their small squad to rest and recover from injuries after a dominant unbeaten run of five matches, including an FA Cup victory over Newcastle. However, this lengthy break could stall their momentum after an impressive start to the season, as they now face six games in five weeks, including a <team>Carabao Cup</team> match against Newcastle and a clash with the reigning champions.
Despite the club's recent history of financial and relegation struggles, Hull City has shown significant improvement under manager Sergej Jakirovic, securing a sixth season in the top flight. The Tigers have taken eight points from their first five games, including victories over Manchester United and Chelsea, and could climb as high as fourth place with a win against Everton.
The two teams last met in the FA Cup third round in January 2022, with Everton defeating Hull 2-3 in an extra-time thriller. As Everton seeks to end a seven-match winless run away from home, Hull City presents an ideal opponent to achieve that goal.
