From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Goals have never been lacking between these two sides – with three of the previous five matches seeing at least four goals scored in the fixture.

Hull, equal on points with 19th placed Burnley, have lost their last four matches and will need the goals to be in their favour as they look to push away from the relegation zone.

Everton are sitting in tenth, and will be looking to push up the table against an out-of-sorts Hull City.

KICK-OFF: Wednesday, 7.45pm

PAST THREE MEETINGS…

Everton have won just three of their last nine Premier League games at Goodison Park (W3 D2 L4).
