Everton manager David Moyes has received a key midfield boost as Christopher Norgaard is set to make the matchday squad against Hull City. The Danish midfielder, who joined the club in August, has yet to make an appearance due to fitness issues but featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Blackburn Rovers ahead of Sunday's fixture at the MKM Stadium.

Everton enter the match on a seven-game unbeaten run, aiming to match their best start to a Premier League campaign since 2020. However, Moyes faces defensive concerns as Vitalii Mykolenko remains a fitness doubt after returning early from international duty with Ukraine due to muscle problems.
