With a goal from reliable Robin, an assist from Juan Mata and a clean sheet from Sunderland, we took Paddy Power for three crisp tenners last week as our weekly treble bet came in. Back in profit, can we maintain momentum with this week’s markets?

Determined to claw back our winnings, Paddy are dangling a very tempting proposition our way to open things up. With 13 goals to his name, Michu has been a sensation and, with Stoke at the Liberty this weekend, the Spaniard will be looking to add to their impressive first season tally. He’s gone three starts without a strike, while the Swans have conceded in their last three home matches. Even so, odds of 5/1 on a Michu goal with a Swansea clean sheet against the Potters look tasty and we’re willing to go gung-ho and throw no less than £4 the way of Paddy on this market.

Steven Gerrard found a place in our Scout Picks last night with Luis Suarez missing out. While Suarez seems to have hoodoo over the Canaries, we’re still backing Gerrard to get amongst the points have bagged returns in seven consecutive starts. Chris Hughton’s side have conceded in their last five away trips and we’re backing a home win with the skipper again getting in on the act. Paddy are dangling 4/1 on a Gerrard goal with a Liverpool clean sheet against Norwich and we’re more than happy to take them up on that for £2 of our money.

The final single player market involves City’s clash with an out-of-sorts Fulham. Although Edin Dzeko makes way for Sergio Aguero in our Scout Picks this week, the Bosnian has four goals in his last three league outings and looks primed to punish the Cottagers in today’s clash. Paddy are clearly backing City here, with just 2/1 on offer for a Dzeko goal with a City clean sheet. Nonetheless, we’ll throw them another £3 of our stake for this one.

That leaves just a solitary shekel for our treble market and, having triumphed last week, we’re perhaps hedging our bets somewhat this time around. A Van Persie goal against Spurs, together with a David Silva assist against Fulham and a Liverpool clean sheet is being offered at 10/1 by our bookmaker friends.

      whose your other mf? walcott? santi?
      it seems to me you need one budget mf or you'll have this problem every week and don't want to go through the pain of having points on the bench

      Aguero and Sturridge...you sir are not set...

      but ahead and have at it...

      Marveaux will outscore them both...and that may be a decent week for him (two assists).

        them both=Sturridge and Aguero.

        WC would have been better served with utilizing the great fixtures of cheaper strikers like Dzeko, Lukaku, Cisse (who has villa next week as well) and saving the petty cash to pick-up Aguero next week.

      May as well punt on Sturridge. Who knows what state Southampton will be in after yesterday's events.

      I like the Sturridge punt. PCisse also a good punt, he has very good fixtures next two. Lukaku.

        This...

        But the people don't seem to be listening. They've all prematurely ejaculated their WC's and Aguero's and Sturridges into a corner.

        No Puncheon bail-out this week folks...unless you have Marveaux or something...

      Decided to go for Aguero already this week. Sturridge also not a sure starter and Norwich can be tough against a up and down Liverpool.
