The wise counsel of Paddy Power is back to guide us to learned teamsheet decisions with a hearty slice of anytime scorer and clean sheet odds thrown in.

And there’s more than a few tempting deals for new customers on offer this week from Paddy, although not quite as tasty as the one Paul Hollywood’s squeezed out of Channel 4.

Leicester might only have one away win to their name this season – the movie reference that is in Bruges – but the 16-1 on offer for them to beat United could make you a killing. You can also get 5-1 on the United win.

There’s also 16-1 available for a treble on Spurs, Everton and Liverpool all to win – generous indeed for a trio in such prime form.

If you’re intent on watching this evening’s kick-off, wincing with every Diego Costa challenge, you can spice things up further with odds of 8/1 on an Arsenal win or 10/1 on a triumph for Antonio Conte’s men.

Five league matches, five wins – no-one’s in better form than Man City, so 5-1 on them beating Swansea looks more than doable, while Southampton at West Ham could go either way, but 8-1 for the Saints to march away with a victory is well worth a look.

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.

And so on to the meat in your Paddy pie.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 6

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.53
Ibrahimovic MUN 1.90
Origi LIV 1.90
Mane LIV 1.90
De Bruyne MCI 2.10
Firmino LIV 2.10
Iheanacho MCI 2.10
Coutinho LIV 2.25
Lukaku EVE 2.25
Ighalo WAT 2.40
Janssen TOT 2.40
Costa CHE 2.40
Benteke CRY 2.50
Giroud ARS 2.50
Austin SOT 2.50
Deeney WAT 2.62
Iwobi ARS 2.70
Sanchez ARS 2.70
Rashford MUN 2.80
Bony STK 2.80

He’s back and his odds are as short as his legs. Yep, Sergio Aguero (1.53) returns from his three-match ban primed and ready to add to his three league goals for the season and maybe cost Swansea boss Francesco Guidolin his job while he’s about it.

If you fancy your legs longer (and ego bigger), Zlatan (1.90) will be looking to punish a Leicester defence that’s coughed up five goals in two away matches so far. Marcus Rashford (2.80) is a longer shot but he’s on it – a goal in his first league start last time out and another in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Romelu Lukaku (2.25) also has form on his side, and Bournemouth in his sights. The big Belgian has four goals in two matches which, coincidentally, is the same amount (from the same matches) that the Cherries have shipped at home.

And never discount Diego Costa (2.50) against Arsenal. He might be about as welcome at the Emirates as a Fancy Bear at an NHS data protection meeting, but he’s got five in five in the league and after getting most of the Gunners sent off last season, fate almost demands that he’ll do more damage this afternoon.

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 6

Team Odds
Liverpool 1.72
Manchester City 2.10
Manchester United 2.29
Tottenham 2.50
Stoke 2.70
Everton 2.70
Watford 2.87
Crystal Palace 3.10
Burnley 3.10
Sunderland 3.20

Clean sheets have been a bit of a rarity this season and the odds reflect it.

Man City (2.10) have managed just the one so far, in last week’s mauling of Bournemouth, but Swansea are averaging less than a goal a game and have already drawn two blanks, one of which was at home.

United have two shut-outs to their name but have conceded five in their last two matches, so 2.29 looks a bit meagre for visit of Leicester. The Foxes might have failed to win on the road in the league, but they’ve not failed to score in either defeat.

Everton (2.70) have won three in a row, and two of them involved clean sheets, so they look a more attractive proposition, particularly against a Bournemouth outfit with just three goals to their name.

And Burnley have kept things tight at home – one clean sheet and just two goals conceded in three matches – so their 3.10 price is tempting. If they can stop the ten-goal Watford juggernaut, that is.

      Lovren might not start, Snodgrass 1st sub imo.

      1. Jude Rooney
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Why??

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 25 days ago

      You think Capoue will keep this run going?

      1. Patty
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Don't see why he can't

  3. Iain Dowies Love Child
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Can't afford Baines/Coleman - Jags or Williams?

      i guess you don't have kun and u ll hide behind the sofa ?

      1. 7alwachi
        10 years, 25 days ago

        I do, but failed to score in his last 7 against Swansea apparently.

        1. Epic Fail
          10 years, 25 days ago

          Do you think he's going to blank?

          1. 7alwachi
            10 years, 25 days ago

            Not necessarily, but if all four were to perform I think those three would outscore him in this gameweek at least.

            1. Epic Fail
              10 years, 25 days ago

              Good luck. Try not to be swayed by everyone telling you you have to captain Kun. I always go with who I think will score the highest regardless of what the popular option is.

              Though I do actually think it will be Kun this week.

              1. 7alwachi
                10 years, 25 days ago

                Fair enough, and yes everyone told me to captain Kun when Alexis played at Watford and I captained Alexis anyway. Best of luck to you too.

    Lots of Jakupović/Pickford sides and equally alot of posters saying they are poor picks. Not many alternatives being suggested.

    Who would you have?

    I don't think Heaton is a good pick either.

    1. Astonvanilla
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Foster/Pickford for me

      1. boredjames
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Mandanda/Pickford. Just because i needed the 0.2 saved from Foster

    2. Emp
      10 years, 25 days ago

      how would heaton not be a good pick?

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Mandanda/Pickford

  6. Jafooli
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Might need to postpone Deadline Bingo this week, unless the gravs come back 😮

  7. Backup Dancer
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Kosc Walker Coleman (Smith Amat)

    Defense too expensive? Did Sterling to Snoddy to afford it

  8. rohan
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Anyone going Rashford over Ibra?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Obviously.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 25 days ago

      Rashford's on the rise, could be a very popular move this afternoon.

      1. Hillbilly
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yes

  9. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  12. jayzico
    10 years, 25 days ago

    So. After my maverick, mad, drunken, completely absurd 28 point hit (WC used week 2) I'm left with this>

    Jaku / Pick
    Walker / Loveren / Holebas / Amat / Kingsley
    Sanchez / Mane / Antonio / Capoue / De Roon
    Aguero / Lukaku / Costa

    2.5m ITB for Kak > Ibra ASAP. Giving me the ultimate frontline as of tonight.

    Nuts?

        10 years, 25 days ago

        Well he'll do as a 5th mind. Don't expect 2/3+ points.

  15. CostaCoffee

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. Mr. O'Connell
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Is Mandanda 1st choice now? Got 4.4 to spend on a keeper and Jaku might get dropped and I want to avoid the Hull double-up at the back

    1. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I would say yes

  21. Acquafresca

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Why do you need a Watford defender?

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

      I'm sticking with Holebas, got until Monday and still great fixtures after that if he doesn't recover in time. Is Lovren injured too?

  23. jayzico
    10 years, 25 days ago

    1. Epic Fail
