We head off to Paddy with another tenner in hand for our first Flutter of the New Year this morning. All three of our bets find their way into this week’s Scout Picks – we look to home games at St Mary’s and Goodison on Saturday before backing the Gunners chief playmaker to bring home the money on Monday evening:

First up, we turn to Southampton’s home game against West Brom, with Adam Lallana on our radar. The Saints skipper has scored three of his four league goals in front of the St Mary’s faithful and, having climbed off the bench to net against Burnley in the FA Cup last week, we’re backing him to produce the goods again. Paddy have offered odds of 7/1 on Lallana to grab a goal and Southampton to produce a clean sheet and we’re throwing £3 their way.

We make our way to Goodison now, where the inconsistent Romelu Lukaku earns our backing. The big Belgian has notched in just one of the last seven Gameweeks but will be confident of returning to goalscoring ways as Norwich roll up to Merseyside devoid of the injured Michael Turner in defence. Paddy are prepared to offer 7/1 on Lukaku scoring two or more and an Everton clean sheet – with the Canaries finding the net just twice in their last  four, Paddy takes another £3 of our cash for this one.

Our final wager goes on Monday evening’s encounter at Villa Park. Arsenal roll up to Paul Lambert’s strugglers reeling from the news that Theo Walcott is out for the season but Arsene Wenger is set to hand Mesut Ozil a starting berth after the German missed the last two with a shoulder injury. Paddy are offering odds of 6/1 on Ozil to score and the Gunners to keep a clean sheet – given that Wenger’s side have conceded a single goal in the last four, we make this our bet of the weekend and empty our wallet of its remaining £4.

If you’re yet to register an account with Paddy, be sure to check out this week’s AWAY DAY TREBLE LINK. Paddy are offering odds of 8/1 for Chelsea, Arsenal and City all to win at Hull, Villa and Newcastle respectively.

        Ground has the fixtures and is nailed on, but his form is pretty poor and he is a lot more effective with Walcott in the team. Between Ade and Negredo at the moment - prefer Negredo for the next 2 but the extra cash next week would help me more with my Sterling issue. Tough.

    Almost done with my WC, still have some money to possibly improve some points:

    Mannone, Marshall
    Kosc, Chester, Ward, Coleman, Bardsley
    Ozil, Yaya, Eriksen, Oscar, Januzaj
    Adebayor, Aguero (this week Welbeck), Suarez

    That leaves me with 0.5m in the bank. Maybe my midfield is too strong (if that is a thing), making decisions who to bench difficult. Maybe I should invest some money in another stronger defender, or GK?

          I'd hold off on sturridge then... think it's a tad too soon for him then

          is lallana/6.0/6.4 mid the 4th or 5th mid?

              so he's your 4th mid or your 5th?

              and whichever he is who is the other 4th/5th mid?

    Hello guys what would you do with this lot?

    Krul
    Clyne, Coleman Mertesacker
    Barkley, Hazard, Özil, Lallana
    Suarez, Negredo, ROONEY

    subs: Harper, Ravel, Bardsley, Rosenior

    I've already taken a hit to sort out injuries so which one would you prefer:

    A) Rooney -> Ade/JRod/Lukaku for another hit?
    B) Bench Rooney and play Ravel
    C) Wildcard

    Any advice would be great, thanks!
