Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football lands in Liverpool on Monday 4 May, with Manchester City heading to Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time since Everton’s summer move from Goodison Park. Kick-off is set for 20:00 BST.
The visitors are temporarily on the podium in second place right after Arsenal and have only five fixtures left to settle the title, with no margin for slip-ups. Everton, comfortable in mid-table, have little riding on the result themselves but spoiling a championship contender’s evening on a fresh stretch of home turf would do nicely.
Everton vs Manchester City – Betting Odds
The Everton vs Manchester City betting odds below cover all the main markets, with a written explanation for each. Fractional prices were correct at the time of writing and may shift before kick-off. As always, make sure to re-check the most updated betting odds before placing your bets.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market is the classic “pick the result” bet: 1 represents the home team (Everton) winning, X stands for a draw, and 2 represents the away team (Manchester City) winning. It’s the market most people mean when they talk about Everton vs Manchester City odds, because you’re simply predicting the result at full time.
The bet is settled on the score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time only. Anything that happens in extra time or penalties (in competitions where they apply) is excluded. Your task is purely to predict whether Everton win, the match ends level, or Manchester City win – nothing else.
| Everton win (1) | Draw (X) | Man City win (2) |
| 5/1 | 15/4 | 5/13 |
Double Chance Odds
The double chance market lets you back two of the three 1X2 outcomes in a single bet, giving you a wider net at the cost of a shorter price. As long as either of your selected outcomes happens, the bet wins.
The three options are 1X (home win or draw), 12 (either team to win), and X2 (draw or away win). The trade-off is straightforward: you’re essentially doubling your probability of landing the bet, so the bookmakers compress the price accordingly.
| 1X – Everton or draw | 12 – Everton or Man City | X2 – Draw or Man City |
| 16/11 | 2/13 | 1/8 |
It’s a useful angle when you have a strong opinion on a result you want to rule out but aren’t fully decided between the other two.
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting evens out a mismatch by giving one team a virtual head start, called a handicap, which is then applied to the final score before the bet settles. The market is most popular in fixtures where one side is heavily favoured.
If a team is given -1, they need to win by two clear goals or more for the bet to win (a 1-0 result wouldn’t count). If a team is given +1, they can lose by one goal and the stake still returns, with any draw or win also paying out.
Quarter-goal lines like -1.25 and +1.25 work slightly differently: your stake is split equally across the two adjacent half-goal lines (-1 and -1.5 in this example), so if the result lands on the closer line as a push, you get half your stake back instead of losing it outright.
| Everton +1.25 | Man City –1.25 |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
| Everton +1 | Man City –1 |
| 23/20 | 16/25 |

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) asks you to predict whether each side will score at least once during the match. There are only two outcomes – Yes (both teams find the net) or No (one or both teams fail to score).
The final result is irrelevant. A 1-1 draw means BTTS Yes wins, and so does a 4-3 win for either side. Any 0-0, 1-0 or 2-0 means BTTS No wins.
Because the market sidesteps the question of who wins, it’s a useful angle in fixtures where you have a clear feel for the goal pattern but aren’t sure how the points will fall. Bookmakers price it based on the attacking output and defensive solidity of both sides.
| Yes | No |
| 19/25 | 19/20 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Over/under, or totals betting, focuses on the combined number of goals scored by both teams. The bookmaker sets a line (often 2.5 or 3.5 goals), and you decide whether the game will produce over or under that number. Choosing over means you expect at least one more goal than the line, while under means you think there will be fewer.
The final result and the scorers are all irrelevant. Only the total goal count matters. And remember, 2.5 is just an example. You’re free to set the line wherever you want.
| Over 2.5 goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| 4/7 | 5/4 |
Correct Score Odds
Instead of simply choosing a winner, Correct Score betting asks you to predict the exact final score. Because there are many possible scorelines and the probability of any one outcome is low, the odds are generally generous.
Correct score markets reward those who study form, injuries and tactical approaches. It’s a risky one, but it pays off nicely if it lands. These selections highlight some of the more popular scoreline bets, but you’re free to choose the scoreline you prefer when setting your bet.
| 0–0 | 1–1 | 0–1 Man City | 1–2 Man City |
| 17/1 | 8/1 | 7/1 | 7/1 |
The odds listed above were accurate at the time of writing. Bookmaker prices can move with team news and market sentiment, so it’s worth checking the latest Everton vs Manchester City odds before placing a bet.
