We’re feeling flush this weekend after Adam Lallana and the Southampton defence helped us get one over Paddy last time around. We turn to the Scout Picks for inspiration, where Arsenal, City and Chelsea all supply us with a player apiece as we look to end the Gameweek in profit.

Our first stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal prepare for the visit of struggling Fulham tomorrow afternoon. With Paddy offering 3/1 on Mesut Ozil to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re lumping £3 on this one – the Gunners have conceded once in their last six at home, whilst the German has netted in two of the last three in front of his own supporters.

Next up, we stop by the Etihad for City’s home clash with Cardiff. This time around Paddy is offering 9/2 on Alvaro Negredo to score two or more goals and the hosts to keep a clean sheet – a scenario that happened as recently as Wednesday evening. We make this our bet of the week and throw £4 Paddy’s way for this one, with the Bluebirds looking there for the taking.

Our final few quid is saved for Sunday afternoon’s Stamford Bridge showdown between Chelsea and United. Paddy are again in very generous mood and offer 15/2 on Eden Hazard to score and Jose Mourinho’s side to keep a clean sheet – the Belgian has notched in three of the last four, whilst his defensive team-mates have conceded once in the last five league matches. We empty our wallet of the remaining £3 and back the Belgian to add to David Moyes’ woes.

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 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.

        Start Nasty, if he doesn't play then you get Ward off the bench. Doubt he'll bring on Nasty of the bench

          Thats what I have at the moment. But if they are 4 nil up he might decide to give someone like Kompany a rest! And Ward is playing OOP and on a few set-pieces

      I'm a bit annoyed that Aguero has went up 0.2m so soon.

      But the advantage of that is so many people now have him in their team & he wont even start today.

      I wonder how big my green arrow will be today 🙂

        Even if he comes on in last 30 mins he could easily get a goal or more, as shown during the week

          I don't have him either and I don't think he'll start but tbh I wouldn't put it past him to come off the bench with 20 mins to go and still get a brace and maybe the bp

          Jesus did he rise that much?!

          Man I hope he doesn't start, I've been thinking about doing without him and having negredo instead....then I think I want both and will do without silva...then I think I need silva...I'm glad I still have my wc.

          I'd go Ravel who might not play at all but could be profitable, Wilson was shocking in the last game and Stoke overall don't seem safe at the back for now

        I planned to buy Aguero as soon as possible. Is this the right time?

            I'd play Shaw over Ward but I guess it feels safer to play the guy at home
