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.

    Anyone else think that Liverpool will struggle to break Cardiff down today? They have a point to prove to Mr Tan...

        You made the right move last week in getting Walcott in early but don't compound it this week by not captaining Suarez. Team turmoil AKA Cardiff are gonna get walloped with Suarez grabbing his usual 30+ pt captains haul

    I think this will be a low-scoring week based on fixtures in terms of differentials. OK, so Suarez may go mental again and celebrate his new contract but seeing as everyone who matters has him, there's not much point including him, is there?

    So the differentials will be which mid-fielders score and which defenders preform or contribute. Taking hits based on short-term injuries like Rooney seems contrary to good judgement if the scores are tight. As such, everything else is down to luck or Yaya Toure.
