Leon Osman is being cautious as Everton face Hull City on Sunday.

MKM Stadium will host the Toffees on 11 October, with the game kicking off at 2pm local time.

The Blues are one of the few teams with an unbeaten record in the Premier League this season, and David Moyes has relied on his side's defensive solidity.

Sergej Jakirovic's team have also had a decent start to the campaign after winning promotion.

The Tigers beat Manchester United on opening day and also drew against Chelsea in their first five league games.

Neither team has been deadly up front and that has clearly reflected in Osman's prediction.

Leon Osman and Tony Bellew disagree on Everton prediction vs Hull City

Opta Analyst's supercomputer expects a draw to be the most likely outcome between Everton and Hull.

Osman agrees with that assessment, predicting the game to end in a 0-0 draw.

The ex-Blues midfielder left co-host Liam Kiziltan surprised by the scoreline.

Speaking on Outside the Box Pod on 10 October, Osman said, "1-1, yeah. I think we'll draw it. I want us to win. You looked at me like I was rooting for a 1-1 draw there. I want us to win."

Tony Bellew is more confident the Merseyside outfit will get the three points at MKM Stadium.

The former WBC cruiserweight champion said, "I think we beat them 2-1," to which Osman responded, "I hope so."

Why David Moyes could make surprise changes vs Hull City

Jack Grealish could finally play in the number 10 role for Everton against Hull.

Moyes has preferred the Englishman on the left-wing, but he may be forced to make slight tweaks.

The Scottish manager has confirmed that Vitalii Mykolenko might not be fully fit to face the Tigers.

James Garner could potentially be an option at left-back, opening space for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to move into a deeper midfield role.

Christian Norgaard could be brought into the engine room to provide cover for the backline, and Tyrique George and Tyler Dibling have shown enough to deserve starts at the MKM Stadium.
