With the international break finally over, it’s time to rush back to the bosom of Paddy Power’s weekend odds.

Before we take a look at the prices for anytime scorers and clean sheets, we need to take a peek at Paddy’s weekly tempters for new customers opening an account.

This week’s enhanced new customer offers include two sets of generous odds surrounding Monday’s massive match-up between Liverpool and United.

If you’re tipping Klopp and the Kop, then you could go for Liverpool to win at 6-1, or if Jose’s the way, you can get 12-1 on a United victory.

Chelsea entertain Leicester on Saturday lunchtime, and the Foxes’ dodgy away form – played three, lost three, 10 goals conceded – makes 4-1 on a Chelsea win look well worth a punt.

If you fancy a longer shot than that, there’s 10-1 available for West Ham to record their first away win of the season in the evening kick-off at Palace.

And betting on Man City, Arsenal and Spurs all to win is available at 9-1.

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.

ANYTIME GOALSCORER ODDS – GAMEWEEK 8

Player Team Odds
Aguero MCI 1.50
Sanchez ARS 1.57
Costa CHE 1.72
Wilson BOU 1.90
Austin SOU 1.90
Iheanacho MCI 2.00
Benteke CRY 2.20
Walcott ARS 2.20
Hazard CHE 2.29
Nolito MCI 2.29
Ibrahimovic MAN 2.29
Son TOT 2.37
King BOU 2.37
Afobe BOU 2.37
Mane LIV 2.50
Sane MCI 2.50
Firmino LIV 2.50
Lukaku EVE 2.62
Ighalo WAT 2.80
Defoe SUN 2.87
Coutinho LIV 2.87

The usual Aguero and Sanchez-shaped suspects occupy the short-odds spots in the anytime goalscorer charts this week – providing little guidance to those still debating the captaincy issue.

Paddy have the City striker just ahead of the Chilean, but at 1.50 and 1.57, there’s little to separate the pair.

Elsewhere, the 2.29 on Zlatan Ibrahimovic to break his three-match drought in the league looks competitive.

The Swede leads the way for attempts (16) and is second for penalty area touches (30) during that time, and he will be up against a Liverpool defence that hasn’t kept a clean sheet all season.

Christian Benteke, at 2.20, also looks good for goals. He has three in his last four league outings, hit a hat-trick for Belgium in midweek and is up against a West Ham ‘defence’ that’s shipped three or more goals in four of their last five matches.

There are some very enticing longer odds on offer this week as well.

Tottenham’s Heung-Min Son, with four goals in as many matches, is at 2.87 to do the business at West Brom, having continued his fine scoring form for South Korea during the international break, while Southampton’s Dusan Tadic (3.00) scored in both Serbia’s matches and will be up against a Burnley defence that’s lost both of their away matches 3-0 this season.

Romelu Lukaku (five goals in his last four Everton starts) and Troy Deeney, who has three in four for Watford, are priced at 2.62 and 3.00 and will fancy their chances against Man City and Middlesbrough respectively.

And if you want to go well out there, Sunderland boss David Moyes has hinted at an advanced role for Patrick Van Aanholt, making his respective odds of 11.00 for an anytime goal a lot more generous given that the Black Cats are up against fellow strugglers Stoke, who are yet to keep a clean sheet this term.

And speaking of which…

CLEAN SHEET ODDS – GAMEWEEK 8

Team Odds
Southampton 1.83
Arsenal 2.00
Tottenham 2.20
Bournemouth 2.29
Chelsea 2.40
Stoke 2.40
Manchester City 2.50
Middlesbrough 2.62
Crystal Palace 3.00

There’s a bit of a southern bias to the clean sheet tables this week, with Southampton deservedly getting the shortest odds as they go for their seventh consecutive shut-out in all competitions.

They host a Burnley side that’s yet to score on their league travels.

Both Arsenal (2.00) and Spurs (2.20) also look good value.

The Gunners are going for their third clean sheet in a row. Swansea have one win and only two goals in three away matches – and that victory was on the first day of the season at Burnley. This all adds up to what looks like a regulation Arsenal home win, but the fact that this is new Swans boss Bob Bradley’s first match in charge throws a touch of unpredictability into the mix.

West Brom at home are a lot easier to call – tough to beat, even tougher to enjoy. Then again, they scored four goals at The Hawthorns last time out, although that was against West Ham.

Spurs will be a considerably tougher test. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have two clean sheets from their last three starts and shut down the mighty Man City attack before the international break kicked in.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are rated at 2.29 to keep out the visiting Hull City. The Cherries have won their last two home matches 1-0, but the Tigers have scored in all three of their away fixtures so far.

    Predictions on the highest scoring player in GW8?

    I think Shawcross with a goal and assist + 3 BPs

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Bellerin.

    2. TheSteel
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Maybe Wally or a rested Zlatan could be a good shout

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Prob ibra as I've transferred him out

    4. Elijah's Wood
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku now that i've transferred him out

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I had my eye on shawx too

    6. Sánchez
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sanchez if i had to bet but it will just be some randomer like Pickford from saving a penalty

    7. TheShinKicker
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Austin or tadic

  2. Gianfranco Zola
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Sterling +Valencia > Walcott + Bellerin sound good? Have 2 FT

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Why is everyone losing sterling.i want him in

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Walcott and Son seem better value

  3. BadgersBoys
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Heaton still expected to play? Been out of the loop lately.

    1. PvA
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Dyche was confident that he will play

      He hasn't ever missed a league game for Burnley since he joined

      1. BadgersBoys
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Thanks, MNR.

        1. PvA
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Any more brain busters? I've been in the loop 100%

          1. BadgersBoys
            10 years, 26 days ago

            ☺ Yep, tea or coffee? Usually coffee mid week and tea weekends. Can't decide this morning..

            1. PvA
              10 years, 26 days ago

              It depends on your caffeine intake from other sources. If you take a pre-workout supplement I'd lay off the coffee. But a break from coffee on the weekends is good. It will serve as a mini cycle off to ensure your body doesn't get acclimated to the constant intake of caffeine.

  4. Punty McPuntface
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Antonio playing up front still? Worth getting in over Son?

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Never. Son is gold.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 26 days ago

      If I had antonio I'd stick. If it's one or the other then Son. But not this week. I can see son Walker maybe rose all rested

  5. Ruffio
    10 years, 26 days ago

      1. Federico
        10 years, 26 days ago

  10. Eric the King
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Antonio and Rashford
    to
    Walcott and Wilson (-4)?

    Bit concerned about Sterling not starting also

  11. Garlana
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Neither kun or Sanchez feel like a safe pick this week...Both have slight doubts going into the game, on kun atm but I'm probably going to change 35 times before the cut off.

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Just stick with Kun.

    2. Rich_20
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Im between kun and benteke

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Always go Kun when in doubt, especially when he's at home. And it is the legendary GW8 aka Aguero week

  12. S.Agueroooooo

    Pickford (Heaton)
    Holebas, Lovren, Smith (McAuley, Amat)
    Sanchez, Antonio, Sterling, Firmino (Capoue)
    Aguero, Lukaku, Rashford

    2 FT, using one to save another. No extra money.

    Sterling -> Walcott/Son?
    Lukaku -> Benteke

  15. Sir_Durs8
    10 years, 26 days ago

    0 FT, 0.1 ITB

    Pickford (Foster)
    Baines, Clyne, Holebas (Evans, Amat)
    Sterling, Sanchez (C), Firmino, Snodgrass (Capoue)

    1. Team Tomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      g2g i'd say, no clear options worth hit.

  16. Optimus.

        10 years, 26 days ago

        You're slowly losing any goodwill u generated from that write-up which was made into a Hot Topic

        1. George Sillett
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Quickly.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 26 days ago

            Gone

        2. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 26 days ago

          I have seen it posted about 15 times already.

        3. Cecil The Lion
          10 years, 26 days ago

          I don't think it generated and goodwill tbh. Just temporarily neautralised the bad will he has accumulated.

  18. Yankee Toffee
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Austin or Tadic is on pens?

    1. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 26 days ago

    1. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 26 days ago

      A

    2. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Tadic

  20. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Pick two out of three

    Heaton, Boruc, Pickford

    Thanks!

    1. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Heaton and Grant rotate well

      1. Hamstergod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 26 days ago

        Isn't Grant only short term? Butland should be back soon enough

        1. Yankee Toffee
          10 years, 26 days ago

          Yeah when the fixtures go bad. Pickford a temp too

  21. Jafooli
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Kone defo out?

    1. Clump
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Can't see anything to confirm.
      Has tight hamstring & may miss out.
      I wouldn't rely on it.

    2. Arteta
      10 years, 26 days ago

      http://www.safc.com/news/team-news/2016/october/preview-v-stoke-city

      "...the Black Cats could also be without Lamine Kone and Jason Denayer."

  22. hotunderthekolarov
    10 years, 26 days ago

    So was hungover as hell last Saturday morning and thought it was the deadline then rather than this week and ended up taking an 8pt hit before I remembered it was the international break. Don't really want to do any more transfers but I've got Lovren and Sterling in at the minute, both marked as 75% chance of playing - do we think they're going to play? My bench is weak af 🙁

    1. Twelve years a slave
      10 years, 26 days ago

      They are both fit again

    2. Garlana
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I think Lovren has been back in training for a while.

    3. hotunderthekolarov
      10 years, 26 days ago

      here's my team btw:

      pickford (jaku)
      walker, koscielny, lovren (kingsley, amat)
      sanchez, sterling, firmino, capoue (oriol romeu)
      costa, kun, austin

  23. John wick
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Wil targett start?
    Thinking of transfer collins to targett or smith?

    Pick any1

    1. Ange Ball
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I dine smith last night.

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Smith. You'll just waste a transfer taking Targett out again when Bertrand comes back. Fixtures not great after this week either.

    3. dhamphiir
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Their defence will be somewhat like this
      Forster
      Martina Fonte Van Dijk Targett

  24. Steirish
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Should I start sterling or Capoue?

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sterling

    2. Junior ⚽
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Is that a question?

    3. TheShinKicker
      10 years, 26 days ago

      This is a ballache for me too

    4. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sterling risky cos of minutes but a much higher points celing.

    5. Sandy Ravage
      10 years, 26 days ago

      I'm starting Lallana & Sterling ahead of Capoue. It'll be a bonus if he came off then bench, but I'm not expecting great things.

  25. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Can anyone tell me who will get the most points this week out of Sanchez and Aguero?

    I am not looking to know the highest score out of all PL players, just between those two. So just let me know please.

    1. Ange Ball
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Sanchez

    2. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Aguerez

  26. _Gunner
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Would you do Lallana > Iwobi/Snodgrass for a FT?

    If Lallana didnt show up, either Kone, Amat or Fletcher will come in.

    1. Junior ⚽
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Snoddy

    2. Yankee Toffee
      10 years, 26 days ago

      Tadic

  27. Ange Ball
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone got the balls to Captain Walcott I so want to but if he flops then I reckon season over for me.

    A) Sanchez
    B) Walcott
    C) Aguero

  28. TheSteel
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Rose a doubt after 3 in 2 weeks?

  29. Rhodes your boat
    10 years, 26 days ago

    final decisions! need a good week
    A) bench- capoue, evans or bolasie
    B) captain-aguero, costa, bellerin?

  30. Junior ⚽
    10 years, 26 days ago

    Wilcard dilemma - What pair would you pick?
    A) Cech and Son
    B) Heaton and Walcott
    Is it a bad move to drop Lukaku for Firmino? (formation)

    1. Rhodes your boat
      10 years, 26 days ago

      a and no
