We turn to three of the top five sides in our attempt to get the better of Paddy this weekend. A couple of in-form midfielders and a forward from the Blue half of Merseyside are our main men – the trio also found the way into this week’s Scout Picks as we put our money where our mouth is:

Our first port of call is at Craven Cottage where Fulham brace themselves for the visit of free-scoring City. Since recovering from injury at the start of last week, David Silva has scored against Bayern and Arsenal already and with that in mind, we fancy the little Spaniard to breach Rene Meulensteen’s backline and steer his side to victory in the absence of Sergio Aguero. Paddy have generously offered odds of 11/2 on Silva to find the net and City to register a clean sheet and we’re confident enough to throw £4 their way.

Next up we head to the Liberty, where Swansea go head-to-head with Everton. The hosts are severely weakened at the back and will be without Michel Vorm and Angel Rangel through injury and suspension respectively, offering the in-form Toffees another chance to pick up the points under Roberto Martinez. Paddy are offering a towering 18/1 on Romelu Lukaku to score twice or more and the Toffees to register a clean sheet – given that they’ve conceded once in their last four road trips, we’ve convinced enough to stick £3 on this one.

Our final bet is kept for Monday night’s encounter at the Emirates, where Arsenal take on Chelsea. A win would leave the Gunners sitting pretty at the top of the table and give Arsene plenty to smile about as he tucks into his Christmas Day sprouts and we’re banking on Theo Walcott continue the form that saw him bag a brace at the Etihad last Saturday. With Paddy prepared to offer 17/2 on a Walcott goal and Gunners clean sheet, we empty our wallet of its remaining £3.

If you’re yet to register an account with Paddy, be sure to check out this week’s “Tasty Treble”. Paddy are offering odds of 5/1 on Liverpool, Man City and Man United all to win against Cardiff, Fulham and West Ham respectively this weekend.

    Three in the early kick off...GJ, Coutinho and captain Suarez...mmm. Let's hope the shambolic goings on at Cardiff extend to the Cardiff team.

        hope so. not really too concerned except for Rooney. Although Vidic has genuinely been the worst FFS player I have ever bought in relation to ROI

          I think you will want both in the long term, but you can wait a week for Walcott IMO.

            because he has a tough fixture. Likelihood of him scoring big is decreased.

            I appreciate that he bagged a brace vs City last week, and that Mourinho's Chelsea have been pretty poor this season defensively vs expectations, but i still think fixtures are important and it takes more than one game to constitute form IMO.
