In our penultimate head-to-head with Paddy, we’ve invested faith in Liverpool’s departing hero, Arsenal’s midfield orchestrator and Manchester City’s marauding left-back.
Liverpool play host to Crystal Palace on Saturday in what will be Steven Gerrard‘s final run-out at Anfield before his switch to the MLS. Gerrard netted in his previous two starts and will be desperate to the send the Kop into rapture. Ally this with the fact that the Eagles notched a solitary goal in their last four outings and Paddy’s 6/1 odds on Gerrard to score and Liverpool to keep a clean sheet against Palace has tempted us to part with our first £4.
Santi Cazorla – the target of our second wager of the week – attempted more shots (seven) than any other midfielder last Gameweek. Furthermore, no midfielder in the league has fashioned more shots inside the box (nine) than the deep-lying Spanish playmaker in the last three Gameweeks. Considering that the Gunners’ opponents on Sunday, Manchester United, drew blanks in three of their last four, Paddy’s 16/1 offer on Cazorla to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet against United encouraged us to hand over another £3.
Our final bet in this round sees us backing Aleksandar Kolarov to continue his hot streak in front of goal (two in three). No defender can match the number of shots on target (five) the Serbian full-back has mustered in the last three Gameweeks, while Kolarov’s free-kick proficiency adds another string to his bow. The Sky Blues recorded shut-outs in three of their last four fixures, prompting us to take up Paddy’s 16/1 offer on Kolarov to score and Manchester City to keep a clean sheet against Swansea.
