We go head-to-head with Paddy once again this Gameweek and place our faith in a trio of in-form players with tasty looking fixtures on their Boxing Day menus. Arsenal’s resurgent frontman, Man City’s little magician and Tottenham’s Danish maestro are all called upon in our bid for a Merry Christmas.

Our first port of call is the Emirates Stadium where Arsenal face a QPR side that have lost every away match this season and scored just three times on their travels. Four goals in six appearances since returning to injury brings Olivier Giroud into contention for this one, and despite the form of Charlie Austin, we’re going to back the hosts to win this one comfortably – with Paddy offering 13/2 on Giroud to score two or more and Arsene Wenger’s side to collect a clean sheet, we’re shelling out £3 on this one.

Next up we head to the Hawthorns as West Brom host champions City. The odds are on Manuel Pellegrini’s side to deliver at both ends of the pitch in the Midlands match – they’re looking for a seventh straight win here and have conceded just a single goal in five. Paddy are willing to offer 11/2 on David Silva to score and City to earn clean sheet and we’re backing the little Spaniard to get amongst the goals once again – we part company with another £3.

Our final cash is splashed on Tottenham’s trip to struggling Leicester. Christian Eriksen’s sparkling form looks too good to ignore here – the Dane has scored in two of his last three away appearances, with only Chelsea keeping him at bay. With Paddy prepared to offer 8/1 on Eriksen to score and the north London outfit to keep out their hosts, we make this our bet of the week and hand over our final £4.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud. Fresharsenal.com's predicted lineup gives him a rest too, but better fixture than Hazard

    5. A.T
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Giroud

  6. Norco
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Cresswell to Azpi for a hit worth it?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Billy Ketsu
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Look at West ham's fixtures after Chelsea. Do you really want to sell him?

        on the sky sports site team news haz look set to miss out with oscar coming in

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          This site team new's says Hazard will start. Sky can be wrong. So could this site to be fair.

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          They are guessing. Your post makes it sound they confirmed it

        3. Valar(Keith)
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's not called reporting out for the game.. that's just what every "source" has been saying since Hazard left the pitch on Monday. Chelsea tv said he trained according to some on here.. so a lot of conflicting reports

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Oh noes

      Oh right. Thanks Innsie, I've been doing some digging on it.

      1. AllyS

      2. Jonny Sutt

        11 years, 3 months ago

        Austin, lots of people r considering siggy transfers hence price drops

        Siggy

      I think after all the deliberating, arsenal will struggle to beat QPR and west ham will put a shift in via Chelsea.

      The results last Boxing Day were shocking. I think it was 8 away victories or something daft, I read Robbin savages article too, he talked about how his team would spend Xmas in a hotel away from family. For me, it just seems like this will galvanise away teams. I appreciate not all will do this, but just my thoughts.

      Arsenal 2.1 qpr
      Chelsea 1. 0 west ham

      Big scores....

      West brom 0. 3 man city
      Leicester 1.3 spurs

    7. AllyS
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A or B?

      A - Costa and Wanyama to Kane and Fabregas

      B - Costa, Downing and Toure to Giroud, Fabregas and Silva

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A

    8. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Most nailed on?

      A) Azpi
      B) Terry

      1. Manu5
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        B

        1. Jonny Sutt
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          B always

        2. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          But Apzi rested last game should make it more likely that it's Terry's turn to be rested?

          1. Citizen kano
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            azp played last game vs stoke terry club capt

          2. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            CBs dont really need to be rested as often as fullbacks

      2. AllyS
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A as he has already been rested

      3. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        B

      4. nibby
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        B

      5. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Probably B

        But Azpi can play RB if Ivanovic is rested

        1. Manu5
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I wouldn't be surprised to see an unchanged lineup
