Both teams have scored in five of Everton’s last seven away fixtures
Hull have only failed to score in one of their last eight outings
Everton have only suffered one FA Cup defeat to lower league opposition in 11 years
Bigger battles elsewhere for Hull?

Given their struggles against relegation from the Championship, this is a game where Grant McCann may decide to rotate his side for more important tests that lie ahead.

Hull, who had a brief up turn in results when winning four in a row in November, come into his clash without a win in four and having been victorious in just three of their twelve games at the KCOM Stadium.

They have problems in defence, keeping only three clean sheets on home soil, but equally they have only failed to score three times, with both teams netting in four of their last five home and away fixtures.

Everton must end trophy drought

It is 27-years since the Toffees lifted their last piece of silverware, the 1995 FA Cup, and their fans are desperate to see their longest run without a trophy come to an end.

Manager Rafael Benitez is already under huge pressure after a shocking run of one win in twelve, and he knows he cannot afford to take this game lightly by resting some of his senior players.

The Blues have a couple of new signings available for selection that should strengthen a leaky defence that has kept just one clean sheet in 12 games.

Both teams have scored in their last five games, so they are not having problems scoring, similar to their Championship opposition.

I predict both teams will score in this one, but Everton will take the win and progress to the fourth round courtesy of a predicted 2-1 victory.

两队在埃弗顿最近七场客场比赛中都有五次进球
赫尔队在过去的八场比赛中只有一场没有进球
埃弗顿11年来只在足总杯上输给过一个低级别联赛对手
赫尔城还有更大的战役吗?

考虑到他们正挣扎着从冠军杯降级，这是一场格兰特麦肯可能决定轮换他的球队，以迎接更重要的考验。

赫尔队在11月的比赛中取得了4连胜，但在这场比赛中，他们4场比赛都没有取得胜利，在KCOM球场的12场比赛中，只有3场取得了胜利。

他们的防守存在问题，在主场只有三场比赛没有失球，但同样，他们只有三次没有进球，在过去的五场主场和客场比赛中，两队都有四次进球。

埃弗顿必须结束奖杯荒

27年前，太妃糖队在1995年的足总杯比赛中夺得了最后一枚银杯，而他们的球迷们迫切希望看到他们最长时间没有奖杯的比赛结束。

在经历了令人震惊的12连胜1场后，主帅贝尼特斯已经承受了巨大的压力，他知道他不能对这场比赛掉队，让他的一些资深球员休息。

蓝军有几个新球员可供选择，这将加强他们12场比赛中没有失球的防守。

这两支球队在最近的五场比赛中都有进球，所以他们在得分上没有问题，和他们的冠军对手相似。

我预测两队都会在这场比赛中进球，但埃弗顿会凭借预计的2-1的胜利进入第四轮。
