Glossing over another near miss last Gameweek – Wayne Rooney’s contribution deserved a goal but it just didn’t come – we look ahead to a weekend bathed in sunshine and lathered in goals.
As the Premier League heats up for the final furlong, three home games take our fancy, and as per usual, Paddy Power have made some tempting specials for us to test our Flutter tenner.
First up is Swansea’s Icelandic midfielder, Gylfi Thor Sigurdsson. The hammer blows cast in two of his last three outings have suddenly transformed Swansea into a top eight side – his Norse god namesake proud. Paddy have him at 6/1 to get a goal and Swansea to keep a clean sheet against Everton, which is likely the best business of the weekend. With the stats backing this up, seven home cleanies and five goals in just shy of 690 minutes of pitch time, our first Flutter fiver is spent.
Each week, Luis Suarez puts in his now customary workhorse performance with a dollop of flair, but fails to notch a goal. With Wigan at Anfield this weekend, is the scene set for Suarez to finally deliver? A Suarez goal and Liverpool to get a cleansheet at 6/4 doesn’t seem very generous from Paddy, but as the Latics have continued to struggle for goals, there is some value there to balance the risk. We’re going to take a pass on this one though and save our pennies, as a red-hot Antonio Valencia is up next.
Valencia’s return from his near career ending leg break has been an exceptional one. Back in his stride with goals and assists flowing, he and Man United, are looking good to stay the distance at the top of the table, even with the magic touch of Carlos Tevez returning to their sky blue neighbours. Paddy offer 4/1 on Valencia to provide yet another assist and United to keep a clean sheet at home to Fulham. An easy choice for our Flutter’s remaining fiver.
Our final bet is a clean-sheet treble of Man United, Liverpool and Swansea. Paddy are offering a fairly promising 7/1 on this, a price hard to beat, yet with away goals all the rage in last week’s fixtures, hitting the treble may be a bit too much of an ask.
