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.

      So you don't think Terry will get a CS, then you think United will score. Still you transfer out Januzaj who is likely to be involved if United score with Rooney and RvP out. I hope these transfers doesn't bite you in the back 🙂
