Liverpool legend turned Paddy Power ambassador Phil Thompson is up for the cup and he’s running the rule over his old friends Everton heading to Hull in the 3rd round on Saturday evening. It’s a tricky-looking assignment for the under pressure Rafa Benitez.

The Toffees are expected to win and anything less would spark further outrage among the fanbase who are running out of patience with the former Liverpool boss. Hull might relish the change of scenery with them struggling in The Championship. Are we in line for an upset? Here’s Thommo’s Hull v Everton tips.

Saturday 5.30pm: Hull v Everton

BBC One, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website

Rafa Benitez needs a result so he might go strong. Not only does he need a result but the Everton fans would love a trophy and if anything can turn it round for Rafa it would be winning a trophy.

This would be one of them which sets the pulses racing for The Blues. The defeat against Brighton didn’t go down well and they’ve won just one of their last 12 in the Premier League.

I am going to come down on the side of Everton here though. Hull lost 1-0 away at Blackpool on New Year’s Day, they’ve no win in their last four and are sitting 19th in The Championship. Surely Everton will Win this?

I’m going for a narrow victory because I don’t see a big one, but Rafa will take that and he will take a clean sheet. This one, I do fancy Everton to make a comeback and Win. I’m just going by the odd goal – Everton to Win 1-0.

I do think that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will start, he needs games. I’m backing Calvert-Lewin to Score Anytime.
