For this week’s series of bets, we call on a trio of midfield maestros to deliver – a couple found their way into the Gameweek 12 Scout Picks, while the other found himself squeezed out in a last-minute reshuffle.

Before we assess this week’s market, here’s an early heads-up on the fact Paddy are also offering those yet to register an account some enhanced odds on the days early kick-off. You can get 5/1 on Tottenham to win or draw at City on Sunday afternoon if you sign up to Paddy Power today. Bets are limited to £10 and are open to those without a Paddy Power account.

On to the players now and we look to Eden Hazard to continue the form that has grabbed four goals in the last five league games. Chelsea roll up to Upton Park this evening to face a Hammers side with plenty of concerns at the back – Winston Reid is out, while James Collins, Razvan Rat and Joey O’Brien are all doubts. With Paddy offering 7/1 on Hazard to score and Chelsea to keep a clean sheet, we throw £4 their way, confident the Belgian will turn over Big Sam’s boys.

In Sunday’s match at the Etihad, City might be robbed of the injured David Silva but Samir Nasri has stepped up under Manuel Pellegrini this season. The Frenchman’s started three home games under the new manager and scored in two of them and with visitors Spurs finding the net in three times in the last five Gameweeks, Paddy’s odds of 9/1 on a Nasri goal and City clean sheet are enough to see us part with a couple of quid.

Our final bet focuses on Monday night’s midlands derby, where West Brom play Villa under the Hawthorns lights. Scout Pick Stephane Sessegnon grabbed a goal in the Baggies’ 2-2 draw at the Bridge last time out and looks in good form right now – with Villa scoring in just one of the previous five Gameweeks, the odds of 9/1 on a Sessegnon goal and West Brom clean sheet take up the remaining £4 of this week’s tenner.

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 on 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.

      He had a tough start with Sunderland playing dung.

      Then West Brom had tricky fixtures.

      Now his fixtures are good, he should get more goals.

      I think that's the argument for Aguero.

      I'm going with Suarez on the groundsbof - if in doubt (C) the best player in the league.

    Eeek, tough decisions this morning.

    I need to start 1 from Morrison, Barkley & Baker, and order the other two on my bench. Thoughts?

    Azp starts third game in a row all competitions on left-back. Food for thought with Cole being declared fit.

      Not at all, he still taking the same amout of shots as at start of season, just his conversion rate has been poor. Will come good again.

      Go cheap at the back! The midfield wants your money deep inside it.
