Hull City boss Phil Brown has no doubts Everton will climb away from the dropzone.

The Tigers defeated Everton 3-2 at the KC on Wednesday night.

Brown said: "There is no doubt in my mind Everton will finish in the top half of the division and be challenging for Europe again at the end of the season.

"I know Davie is a strong character, strong willed and he will get his just rewards this season.

"I feel for him with the amount of injuries he's got. I think any team in the world would suffer with that amount of injuries."
