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.

      Screw spreading the risk, bench who you think is least likely to keep a clean sheet. If it was me I probably wouldn't be benching any of those guys this week, I'd probably be playing a 5-2-3, just depends who you have in midfield and attack.

    Ashley Williams a concern now! The list goes on and on! On a different note, stick with Paulinho and let him drop to 6.9 or sell him immediately after the deadline, but for who?

    Should I start Koscielny over Toure to avoid any cameo appearance from him?

      I think Toure will start. I also don't see Arsenal keeping a clean sheet.

    Is Schurrle a really good differential pick?

    Nothing certain for him to start, right?

      He's a big punt. I'd stay away.

      Because they are showing 3 live games on Sunday instead. Sky must have nabbed one of them off BT Sport.
