Hull City boss Marco Silva has been talking ahead of Saturday's trip to Everton.

His side are 18th in the table but beat fellow strugglers Swansea 2-1 last Saturday.

"Everton have been strong at home this season and we respect them, but we will go there to compete," said Silva.

"But we know that we need to improve our performances and results away from home also. We need to work hard to pick up away points."

"It was a really important result against Swansea last time out. It was important to win at home."
