Team News: Steve Bruce rings changes for Everton trip

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has made four alterations to his starting lineup for the Premier League fixture against Everton at Goodison Park.

Captain Curtis Davies has been dropped to the substitutes' bench where he is joined by Andrew Robertson and Robbie Brady, while Hatem Ben Arfa misses out altogether through injury.

The quartet of Tom Huddlestone, Stephen Quinn, Liam Rosenior and David Meyler have all been included as the Tigers look to move away from the relegation zone.

Despite losing at Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, Everton boss Roberto Martinez has decided to keep changes to his starting lineup to a minimum.

His only alteration sees Leon Osman come into the side to replace Samuel Eto'o, who had started the last two games.

Everton: Howard, Coleman, Baines, Jagielka, Distin, Besic, Barry, Mirallas, Barkley, Osman, Lukaku Subs: Robles, Hibbert, Garbutt, Pienaar, Atsu, McGeady, Eto'o

Hull City: McGregor, Elmohamady, Rosenior, Chester, Dawson, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Diame, Quinn, Jelavic Subs: Jakupovic, Bruce, Davies, Robertson, Brady, Aluko, Sagbo
