We look for inspiration in this week’s Scout Picks as we attempt to get one over Paddy again. A couple of in-form midfielders and Tottenham’s Togolese talisman carry our hopes as we prepare to part company with another tenner:
Our first stop is at Craven Cottage, where Fulham welcome London neighbours Chelsea. The hosts’ new boss Felix Magath has his work cut out in his first home match in charge – Fulham have a single shut-out in the last 20 Gameweeks and look unlikely to improve upon that record anytime soon. Paddy are offering 11/2 on Eden Hazard to score and the Blues to keep a clean sheet – given Jose Mourinho’s side have conceded just three times in 11 Gameweeks, we’re happy to part with £3 of this week’s tenner.
Onto the Britannia now, where Arsenal face a testing trip to Stoke. Paddy are prepared to offer 15/2 on a Santi Cazorla goal and Gunners shut-out – the little Spaniard has three strikes in six, whilst Arsene Wenger’s side have kept out their opponents five times in the previous nine Gameweeks. With this in mind, we part company with another £3 for Saturday afternoon’s showdown.
Finally, our last bet of the weekend is kept for Sunday’s game at White Hart Lane, where Spurs welcome struggling Cardiff. Paddy are offering 13/2 on Emmanuel Adebayor scoring two or more and for Tim Sherwood’s side to keep a clean sheet and we’re backing this one with our remaining £4. The Togo international has bagged three braces in 11 league appearances since being installed up top by his new manager and was at the double in Thursday’s Europa League win over FC Dnipro, whilst the Bluebirds dire attacking form also looks promising – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have drawn blanks in five of his seven league games in charge.
