- • Player-level availability is incomplete, so player and time-sensitive angles are treated more cautiously.
- • Season-opening form, points-per-game and shots-on-target fields contain no usable sample.
- • The listed league positions are not meaningful before the opening round.
- • Recent xG conflicts with the very low goal probabilities, making finishing regression the main risk to Under 2.5.
- • James Garner is a fitness doubt after groin surgery; his status should be checked closer to kickoff. ([beinsports.com](https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/premier-league/articles/garner-a-doubt-for-evertons-premier-league-opener-after-groin-surgery-2026-07-25?utm_source=openai))
