Just 48-hours after the whistle blew on Gameweek 21, we’re left staring down the barrel of another deadline. Let’s throw some last minute variables into the mix via Paddy Power’s latest betting odds.

Before we scan the reckoning for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, we should check in on Paddy’s weekend specials.

You can get straight into the action with the early kick-off, with Paddy offering new customers odds of 4/1 of Tottenham claiming a win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane. That’s followed by another enhanced offer for this evening’s live encounter, with odds of 7/1 available on another Foxes away win, this time at the expense of Aston Villa.

Paddy’s Premier League weekend acca dangles big odds of 18/1 on wins for Chelsea (vs Everton), Man City (vs Crystal Palace) and Leicester (at Villa).

Then, on Sunday, you can get involved in the big clash at Anfield by backing either Liverpool to see of United at 8/1, or grab 11/1 on a United win over Jurgen Klopp’s men.

Be sure to check the terms and conditions on all those offers and, of course, we should state that all these specials are only available to those aged 18. If you’re going to wager, always gamble responsibly.

Despite drawing blanks in four of his last five starts, Sergio Aguero (1.53) is again the clear frontrunner in Paddy’s goal-getting odds, compounding the argument to hand him the Gameweek 22 armband. The Argentine frontman is unlikely to have it easy against a Crystal Palace rearguard that ranks top for goals conceded in away fixtures (eight) and recorded three shut-outs across the previous six Gameweeks. Given that the Sky Blues have chalked up nine goals in their most recent quartet of home clashes, Raheem Sterling (2.40) is also priced short as a midfield option, although Kevin de Bruyne is out at 3.00 for an anytime goal, which look decent odds.

Harry Kane has challenged Aguero at the top of our Captain Poll and Paddy certainly agree that he’s also a strong contender to strike in the Gameweek. Kane’s form (three goals and six blanks in eight) is underwhelming, but he’s pitched at just 1.83 ahead of a home encounter against Sunderland – which probably says more about the Black Cats’ defence than Tottenham’s attack. Although Sunderland have impressed going forward of late, their rearguard has still shipped the joint-most goals (eight) over the last four Gameweeks and is without a clean sheet since Gameweek 14, affording Kane a great opportunity to deliver. Interestingly, the fancied Dele Alli is out at 3.10 for an anytime goal in the early kick-off.

Having notched three goals and an assist in a trio of starts, Diego Costa comes in next at 2.00 prior to Chelsea’s head-to-head with Everton at Stamford Bridge. The Spain international will do well to breach a Toffees back line that have conceded a solitary goal across their last three road ties. The Blues have tallied 10 goals in five matches under Gus Hiddink, so Paddy are also playing it safe with Loic Remy’s valuation (2.20).

Olivier Giroud (2.29) has spearheaded Arsenal’s attack with aplomb this term, racking up 12 goals in just 1408 minutes. Fresh from his first brace of the campaign against Liverpool, the chiseled Frenchman takes on a Stoke City defence that’s only conceded 10 goals on home turf but have faltered in defence of late – shipping six goals in their last three league outings.

In light of his injury travails and Bournemouth’s recent acquisition of Benik Afobe, Joshua King (2.37) is a surprise entry in the top 10. That being said, the Cherries play host to a Norwich City outfit that ranks joint-bottom for clean sheets (three), so King would be a solid shout if he makes the starting XI. Afobe is perhaps more likely to start and score – Paddy have him out at 2.80 for an anytime goal today.

Graziano Pelle and Jamie Vardy are both tipped at 2.40 to notch in the Gameweek. The Saints striker will hope to earn a recall for the visit of West Bromwich Albion, while Vardy will be seeking his first goal in six outings when Leicester City travel to basement dwellers Aston Villa.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 22

TeamOdds
Tottenham1.90
Southampton1.90
Manchester City2.10
Bournemouth2.40
Arsenal2.40
Leiciester City2.50
Chelsea2.62
Liverpool2.62
Swansea City2.62

We’ve seen some late movement in the clean sheet reckoning overnight, with Tottenham edging out in front with odds of 1.90, although they have been joined by Southampton who have crept in from 2.10 to 1.90 in the last 24-hours. Spurs have conceded three fewer goals (17) than any team in the league, whilst the Saints will clash with a Baggies squad that ranks joint-bottom for shots on target (67) this season. Having said that, Tony Pulis’ unit have registered at least one goal in eight of their last nine league matches.

Man City odds have lengthened overnight, with Paddy shifting them out from 2.00 to 2.10 for a shutout against visitors Crystal Palace. Manuel Pellegrini’s side kept a clean sheet in midweek – their third in the last ten league outings. Despite that record, City’s chances are considerably boosted by Palace’s current form – Alan Pardew’s men have drawn four successive blanks prior to their Etihad visit.

Bournemouth are priced at 2.40 ahead of Norwich’s visit, given that the Canaries have managed just four goals in as many outings. Arsenal are on identical odds and perhaps generously valued for their trip to Stoke, considering the Potters tallied more goals (10) than any team over the last four Gameweeks. Staying within the capital, Chelsea (2.62) cross swords with an Everton unit scored just two goals in their previous trio of away match-ups.

Leicester odds have come in overnight from 2.60 to 2.50 – reflecting the Foxes stronger defensive form: Claudio Ranieri’s side will endeavour to record their fourth successive clean sheet from their trip to Villa Park.

At the bottom of our table, Paddy can’t separate Liverpool and Swansea (2.62). The Reds take on an improved Man United attack that has scored five in their last two, while the Swans invite Watford to the Liberty Stadium; the Hornets failed to net in their midweek clash against Saints and have scored just two goals in their last three.

    Arny or ozil

    Bellend or nyom?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil + Bellerin

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Alittude
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't fancy stokes form against the biguns?

        1. Slartibartfast
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Sure they could get a result, but I still think an Arsenal win is more likely. Don't fancy Nyom or Bellerin for a CS, but again Arsenal seem the more likely source.

        2. _Gunner
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Don't think Arsenal will get a CS tbh, but Bellerin's attacking returns are great

          1. Fitzy.
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            They aren't that great at all. 2 assists all season, and no attacking stats for the last 12 weeks.

          2. Slartibartfast
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            2 assists in the league this season... not that great!

            1. Alittude
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              cheers its sensible thanks guys

  2. Steirish
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Ozil or Ighalo?

  3. PMz
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Start which 3 from the following:

    Sagna, Simpson, B.Davies, Dawson and Williams.

    1. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      First three.

      1. Sherry? Sherry.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        +1

  4. Dimen
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play Francis or Baines??? I already have Smith from Bou

  5. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I will probably regret moving armband from Kun to Kane.

    Palace defence has been really solid and Bolasie & Cabaye out they are going to park a bus.

    Can't see high scoring trashing at Etihad.

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I see 1-1

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I can, but I don't have Kun so...

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sound reasoning. Could go either way though. I still fancy Kun for a brace.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Just decided to stick with Kun 😀

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hah! 😀

        2. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fickle much? Nah... Just go with your gut mate!

    4. Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      same thoughts exactly..Kun to Kane it is.

    5. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      think kane safe option to cap, sun poor defence, palace have best def away from home. think i will cap kane, kun will still be good differential for me in m/l

    6. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Check those teams they have played recently.

  6. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Myhill
    Fonte, Alderweireld, Bellerin
    Ozil, Payet, Mahrez, KDB, Alli
    Ighalo, (K)ane

    Butland, Lukaku, Ward, Moreno

    1 FT. GTG?
    Only thing I'm not sure about is the keeper choice and Lukaku on the bench.

    1. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Butland. Otherwise all good.

    2. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea shipped 2 to WBA; I'd put either Alli or Ozil on the bench before Lukaku.

  7. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Snow heading for Citeh game...

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jon Snow?

      1. ElDaddy
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But..but he died

  8. GrumblyBlowfish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Voldemort to get a goal and assist today then do nothing for the rest of the season.

  9. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who should I bench from this lot?

    Ramsey, Ozil, Mahrez, KDB, Alli
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku

    Thanks!

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey

      1. Darth_Newdar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It'll be really annoying if he scores... But yeah, you could be right. Bench Ozil for the differential?

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Has to be one of those two I'm afraid, flip a coin

          1. Darth_Newdar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, think you're right. Ozil is the safer option, Ramsey is riskier but more of a differential.

  10. UnitednationsXI

    who to bench from ozil / ramsey / kaku / mahrez / alli...benched ramsey last gw and alli before

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same situation (see above). I might risk benching Ozil, but not sure...

  11. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stupid move to bench Vardy?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years

      Yes imo

    2. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Against Villa? I wouldn't. Depends on the rest of your team.

  12. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years

    G2G? Correct bench order?

        Thanks, currently benching Butland, Lukaku, Cresswell, Moreno

    I let the coin decide the captain.

    Butland
    Toby // Morgan // Kolarov
    KDB // Mahrez // Alli // Payet
    Aguero // Ighalo // Kane (C)

    (McCarthy ---------- Ozil, Bellerin, Francis)

    If Stoke don't show up then i'm in big trouble

    Good luck all.

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Main reason I don't like the thought of captaining Kane is he's the early KO... armband still on him for now, though.

    2. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team, though. I wouldn't have the guts to bench Bell + Ozil..!

    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is this the right way to set my team up? Don't feel great about benching Alli but don't want to bench anyone else in my front 7 either! I do still have AOA available..

    Courtois
    Bellerin - Simpson - Walker
    Ozil - Mahrez - KDB - Siggy

    2. sminkypinky

    Any truth in the Arnautovic hamstring injury? Seen it on a few sites but may be a load of cr*p.

    AND, if he does play. Do I play Alli or Arnie?

  26. R Whites

      1. R Whites
        • 10 Years

        Yeah, I think you may be right. the former club factor too - think the big man will be on one today.

    2. Darth_Newdar

    2.Best form of his life
