What shaped the view
- City should own territory in a title-race spot, with Everton likely deeper and looking for Beto outlets, second balls and set pieces.
- Official XIs support the City direction: Haaland starts with Doku, Cherki and Semenyo behind him, while Everton are without Branthwaite and go with Tarkowski-Keane at centre-back. City do miss Rodri, Dias and Gvardiol, so the handicap is not risk-free.
- Side-family preferred: the anchor direction is kept at the fresh main line. Over 3.0 is live, but not clearly 2-3 points cleaner because Everton’s goal route looks more set-piece/direct than sustained chance volume.

Why it made the board
CompleteCity’s official XI has enough final-third punch to keep pressure on an Everton back line missing Branthwaite. The move to -1.25 is tougher, but at 2.02 the title-race motivation and attacking mismatch still make the margin angle more sellable than the 3.0 goals line.
Main risk
Odds Trap: Odds Trap: the public City/title-race angle may have stretched the handicap, and Everton’s low block plus set-piece route can turn City control into only a one-goal win.
