Two clubs in the bottom half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a match between Hull City and Everton. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at KC Stadium in Kingston upon Hull and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Hull City manager Steve Bruce (via the Yorkshire Post): "The big thing that needs changing in the new year is I have six big players not playing. They would all arguably be in the team, so we need a bit of luck in that department."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via the Express): "Our philosophy represents Everton. It goes back to the incredible figures that have been special people and custodians of the club. Our style is what is going to make us successful in the future. Now, we need to be good at it."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Rotation will allow John Stones to see additional Premier League minutes. The 20-year-old has just six appearances in 2014. With Martinez's philosophy remaining unchanged, his ability to help build from the back will be key for an Everton victory.
Hull City's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): McGregor; Chester, Davies, Bruce; Rosenior, Brady, Meyler, Livermore, Elmohamady; Jelavic, Hernandez
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Robles; Garbutt, Alcaraz, Stones, Coleman; Besic, Barry; Baines, Naismith, Mirallas; Lukaku
