Weโ€™re banking on a couple of in-form Belgian midfielders with an eye for goal and a certain South American to help us get one over Paddy Power this weekend. All three have found a place in this weekโ€™s Scout Picks as we put our money where our mouth is for Gameweek 13.

Our first stop is at the Bridge, where Chelsea welcome Southampton in one of Sundayโ€™s late kick-offs. Paddy are offering 11/2 on an Eden Hazard goal and Chelsea to keep a clean sheet and thatโ€™s enough to persuade us to part with ยฃ4 of this weekโ€™s tenner. Jose is talking rotation but after handing the former Lille man a sub role against Basel during the week, he looks set to bring Hazard back into the starting lineup โ€“ Hazard has scored in each of his last two home appearances and faces a Saints side with four away goals all season.

We move to Goodison next, where Paddy have dangled odds of 5/1 on a Kevin Mirallas goal and Everton shut-out against Stoke. Mirallas has notched in two of the last three in front of the Everton faithful and looks in form after a goal and assist against Liverpool last weekend โ€“ with Stoke hit by injuries, the Toffees will be looking for a fourth clean sheet in five and tempt us to throw another couple of quid Paddyโ€™s way.

We keep our last ยฃ4 for the Etihad, where Manuel Pellegriniโ€™s side welcome Swansea. Paddyโ€™s offer of 11/2 on Sergio Aguero to score twice and City to keep a clean sheet looks too ignore to ignore here โ€“ the Argentine has bagged a brace in three of his last seven starts, while City have shipped just two goals at home all season. With Michu still sidelined and Wilfried Bony joining him in the treatment room, Pellegriniโ€™s side look a strong shout to record another Etihad shout-out.

If youโ€™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 ยฃ20 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 Powerโ€™s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

    Is Arnautovic ---> Moses too risky?

    I think Moses may get some game time with Sturridge potentially out injured....

      It's a prime fixtures over form move. However, that is a little unfair as he's been without Agbonlahor and Weimann for pretty much the past 3 games too.

      I've brought him in, partly because of the Sunderland fixture, partly because I've got tickets to the Villa - Man U game in a couple of weeks, partly because he won't be rotated, and partly because I like to look clever if it pays off. ๐Ÿ™‚

        Like I say, I'm putting my faith in his teammates - his fixtures are ok and he's unlikely to suffer rotation over the busy schedule. Negatives for all the options in my eyes, he won the competition to be least unappealing!

            Yep, they were my other main options along with Negredo.

            Rooney is the sensible choice but it lacks flair and he's bound to get suspended as soon as I get him.

            Lukaku can wait - I'll probably bring him in for Giroud in 3 weeks.

            Negredo just has poor fixtures and a risk of rotation. Would have been fun though!

      Sometimes best to think inside the box. Suarez or aguero.

      Don't tempt me. I think I'd be happy with a goal and an assist, tbh.

    Hull are resilient at home and Swansea having played the Thursday night game might be in for a hiding at the Etihad. Aguero captain for me.

        Which players were rested, Rover? Having the Europa game on Thursday and losing was one of the main factors for me in going with Aguero.
