And we’re back in the game. Last week’s strike by David Silva and the shut-out for Manuel Pellegrini’s men gave us some much-needed winnings as we look to claw back a season deficit from our friends at Paddy Power. Boosted by some profit, we clutch another tenner and appear at Paddy’s door to inspect what this weekend’s Scout Pick inspired markets can offer.

Before we get going with those, however, a reminder that Paddy Power are also offering those yet to register an account some enhanced odds on Sunday’s big match. You can get 5/1 on a United home win against Arsenal in the tea-time kick-off. Bets are limited to £10 and are open to those without a Paddy Power account.

Returning to Saturday’s matches and our first Scout Pick market finds us looking towards Stamford Bridge where Oscar and his Chelsea team-mates will host West Brom. Steve Clarke arrives to face his old master having suffered a damaging 4-1 drubbing at Anfield last time out. Chelsea, meanwhile, recovered from their own setback at Newcastle with a fine 3-0 Champions League win over Schalke. Oscar has netted three league goals in front of his own fans and carries a big threat from the Chelsea midfield for the Baggies to counter. Paddy have odds of 5/1 on a Oscar goal with a Chelsea clean sheet and we will snap that up as our bet of the week for £4 of our stake.

It was Luis Suarez that put West Brom to the sword last weekend – his classy first half hat-trick banishing the Baggies to defeat, whilst putting the Uruguayan in the driving seat for the Fantasy armband ahead of this weekend. Suarez will face a forlorn Fulham defence with thousands backing him for further goals. Paddy certainly fancy his chances but are still dangling odds of 5/1 on Suarez scoring two or more goals with a Liverpool clean sheet. That’s enough to tempt £3 of our remaining funds.

That leaves us with just £3 to wager on Adam Lallana’s prospects at home to Hull City. The Saints skipper has been in inspired form this term and, fresh from an senior England call-up, should go into the Tigers clash full of confidence. Paddy have a Lallana goal with a Southampton clean sheet against Hull at 13/2 – sealing the fate of our final few quid.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

If you’re new to Paddy Power, then you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up via this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Power’s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

    Cant believe people blaming bad luck for their transfers going wrong.

    Its the risk you take with early transfers , its a fine balancing act between team value and potential injuries.

      It actually has a lot to do with it. Every week thousands of early transfers are made and rarely is the player transferred in injured mid week.

      Yes, it's a risk but it's obviously bad luck if they do get injured.

    Why are so many people recommending others get in Hazard? This week is no guarantee, bench is as likely as starting.
    I'm of the opinion most that say get him got him early this week and are trying to vindicate their choice.
    Need a Silva replacement but they all look a risk for game time. Even Oscar after international duty.

      For me there are no great MF options so I've gone with Haz.

      Could be a short time stay for him, esp if benched

      He missed training because he lost his passport.

      He will start.

    Bad picks I know, but who to start out of

    1) Brady
    2) Koscielny?

    If Brady starts, he's probably more likely to get pts, surely 3 weeks in a row he won't get a 10 min cameo??

    You know, Arsenal haven't let in multiple goals in NINE straight league games...
    ...just playing "soothsayer" before some crazies out there go around giving RVP the Armband to get a leg up...
