Reserve that judgment call for another ten minutes – it’s time to assess Paddy Power’s take on where the goals will and won’t be scored over the Gameweek.

Before we dip into the odds for Anytime Goalscorer and Clean Sheets, let’s scan Paddy’s weekend offers for those of you who are yet to sign up with our bookmaker partners.

Paddy’s acca this week offers new customers huge odds of 20/1 on victories for Liverpool (vs Sunderland), Everton (at Stoke) and Spurs (vs Watford).

The big Gameweek opener at the Etihad is covered by Paddy’s special odds of 5/1 on a Man City win over Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester.

Looking ahead to Sunday, new accounts can get 7/1 on an Arsenal away win at Bournemouth and 6/1 on Chelsea continuing their resurgence by claiming a win over Man United at the Bridge.

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.

There is nothing to separate Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane (both 1.72) at the top of Paddy’s reckoning for an anytime goal. The City striker has amassed five strikes in his previous three outings but now collides with a Leicester City defence that’s recorded five clean sheets in their last six outings. Meanwhile, Kane boasts three goals in four and welcomes Watford to White Hart Lane. The Hornets defence have shipped eight goals over their last six, recording just a single shut-out – against Chelsea in midweek.

Liverpool’s attack is highly fancied by Paddy heading into their Anfield meeting with struggling Sunderland: both Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino are priced at the 1.83 mark for an anytime goal. That makes the Brazilian the most fancied midfielder to score in the Gameweek, although team-mate Adam Lallana is not far behind in Paddy’s reckoning at 2.40.

The confidence in Liverpool looks to be slightly misplaced, given that the Reds notched three blanks in their last five matches. Moreover, the Black Cats’ new-look defence stifled Man City’s attack in midweek, restricting them to six attempts and two shots on target.

Graziano Pelle and Charlie Austin are both backed at 2.20 for Southampton’s home tie against West Ham United. Paddy’s faith in the Saints’ forward line stems from the fact that the south-coast outfit won their previous three fixtures at St Mary’s Stadium by an aggregate of 9-0, trouncing the likes of West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal.

Olivier Giroud (2.29) has been pinpointed as the Gunners’ biggest threat when they make the trip to Bournemouth. The Frenchman failed to net in his last three starts but may just struggle against a Cherries back line that mustered two shut-outs in their previous three home clashes.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 25

Liverpool2.00
Tottenham2.00
Southampton2.10
Chelsea2.37
Manchester City2.40
Swansea2.40
Arsenal2.50
Newcastle2.50
Aston Villa2.62

Liverpool and Tottenham (both 2.00) have been handed the shortest clean sheet odds ahead of their respective home encounters. Again, Paddy’s backing of Jurgen Klopp’s side looks a little generous – the Reds’ defence are widely inconsistent and have shipped 12 goals in their last six league outings, keeping just one shut-out.

The Spurs odds look more understandable – they conceded just 19 goals over the season – fewer than any other BPL side. While that’s translated to just eight clean sheets over 24 matches, visitors Watford have notched a paltry four goals in their last six, promoting the appeal of Mauricio Pochettino’s rearguard this weekend.

Southampton (2.10) go in pursuit of their fifth successive shut-out as they host West Ham at St Mary’s. While Ronald Koeman’s side are in outstanding defensive form – bolstered by the displays of Frazer Forster – again, Paddy’s odds seem a little generous here. The Hammers have scored 12 goals in their last six league matches and will arrive on the south coast full of confidence and possibly boosted by the return of Andy Carroll as a “Plan B” option up front.

At the other end of the country, Man City (2.40) will attempt to rebuff a Foxes attack that charts joint-second for goals scored (44) this term. While we’re expecting fireworks in this encounter, given that the Leicester and Man City defences have allowed just four goals between them over their last six, there’s every chance that goals will be at a premium.

Chelsea are up next with odds of 2.37 for a clean sheet against an improving Man United. Guus Hiddink’s side go into Sunday’s Stamford Bridge meeting fresh from their fourth shut-out in six Gameweeks following the stalemate at Vicarage Road.

Newcastle (2.40) search for their first clean sheet in 10 outings when the Baggies – who’ve scored a solitary goal in three fixtures – arrive at St James’ Park. Swansea (2.40) are valued in line with the Toon prior to their Liberty Stadium meeting with Crystal Palace, who’ve registered just two goals in seven outings. Given the Eagles current form and their lengthy injury list, the Swan’s odds look a little long.

    4. justmatt

      I have the same issue, think I'm benching Payet

  4. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Who to bench please?

    Butland
    Moreno Williams Toby Bellerin
    Mahrez Alli Payet Arnie Yaya
    Aguero Kane Lukaku

    subs: Schmeicel ----- ------ Saylor

    1. Park the bus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Moreno Mahrez

    2. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      mahrez and toby cause he has a crap name

    3. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Bench Bellerin and Yaya IMO

      1. chilli con kone
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Bournemouth look pretty good going forward now and Arsenals defensive stats haven't been great lately. Small chance Yaya might play in the hole but I still think Silva will be more effective there

        1. AK ⭐
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Coquelin back though.

          1. chilli con kone
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            Ohhhh wasn't away of that. Tough call then. Id probably still punt on Moreno but Bellerin more sensible

      Nah, other way round chief

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Ta. I just think the City defence is far worse than an improving Saints and Payet will probably stuck out wide.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      No. Set pieces for Payet

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Cheers.

        Set pieces for Mahrez too.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          All set pieces are Payet. Mahrez shares responsibility

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            True. Tough decision but currently being swayed by defences.

    Roger East!

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Should we expect penalties?

      1. AK ⭐
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Yes, but probably would be given to Deeney to feck us all

        1. Prøphet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          I do hope Deeney misses and Toby saves the PK!

          1. AK ⭐
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            And just like a few years back, Spurs go on a counter and Kane scores, just like Deeney did in the playoffs against Leicester. 😉

          That is really sad... I got Ivan for a hit this GW. Couldnt stand all the red arrows lately, this way i have an excuse to say "its cuz of the hit"
          Maybe get VvD instead of Azpi? No blanks great pickup

          1. Venom Snake
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            I think I'll get a saints defender in a couple week instead

              • 10 Years
              10 years, 23 days ago

              If no pressing issues i would really picka SOU defender now, so u have that taken cared off

  14. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Bench Mahrez (mci) or Valencia (sot), and why?

    1. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Valencia, because Saints are solid and Mahrez is still picking up points. Plus Kompany isn't playing.

  15. John Nerdelbaum
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 23 days ago

    reckon mark is captaining kun?

    1. Ayew Serious

      Lemme call up to his house and check, I'll ask Daniel for the address

  16. FAITHNOMORENO

    according to paddy defensive line of moreno / bertrand / walker have the best cs odds.
    assuring.

      1. FAITHNOMORENO

        at least they are all differentials.

  17. Trigg ⭐️

    How worried should I be with no Arsenal attack?

    1. Prøphet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      According to last 3 league games, not at all.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        That's what I'm thinking. Tempted to do Eriksen to Sanchez but on the last 3 games, that's insane.

        1. Prøphet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          Please dont. Keep Eriksen. He is a great pick atm

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            He has been my differential in the last month!

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Quite so, but Bournemouth are at home so pray they can cause an upset. But you should be really worried, me thinks. After this week it's fine though. Some tough games, blanks...etc.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Might just do Payet to Sanchez ..

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          It's just this week that's worrying. After, it's fine IMO. I wouldn't do Payet to Sanchez.

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 23 days ago

            I'll hide behind the sofa and hope for 0-0.

    3. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I'm sure you have better attackers then.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Eriksen, Alli, Mahrez, Payet would be my midfield.

      Lukaku and Alli status? do we know something

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years

        Alli passed fit. Lukaku was better, hopefully no reaction in training.

        Berbs always has some inside man. Ask him when he's on.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 23 days ago

          'inside man'

      3. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Cheers guys. I fear Moreno may be benched and with it my chances of a 2 pointer. Hoping for Firmino false 9 too.

        Which DGW would it be best to use the trip cap and which to unleash the monster that is wc/bench boost

        Deeney owners captaining?

        Roger East means penalties and he can score from a Spurs or Watford penalty

        Risky week to play aoa?

        Just got alli in for Westwood so now have a very playable front 8. Would people hold off til next week when there's likely to be more certainty over his game time?

        Front 8 is

        Sanchez Ozil Mahrez Alli Payet
        Kin Kane Vardy

          AOA is useless imo, just use it wheneve

          I wouldn't play AOA since Kun, Vardy and Mahrez play the same game and it's likely that both teams will tighten up. I'd probably bench someone from that game too.

          (I have the almost the same except I chose Hazard over Sanchez and Ighalo over Vardy. I am conflicted between Payet and Ighalo for the bench. Thoughts?)

            Thanks, was thinking of saving for next week maybe, although the fixtures aren't particularly favourable then either.

            Having watched the games earlier this week think I would bench Payet over Ighalo, fancy Watford to score and he's normally involved

          lol... 2 weeks time: "Sanchez->Ozil for the rest of the season?"

        Ozil->Firmino for the second FT worth it?

        Have some value tied up on Ozil (got him on 9.0). Plus I hate using 2nd FTs until it's a necessity.

        Payet -> Sanchez for a hit?

        Ozil - Mahrez - Alli - Kane - Kun - Vardy
