We’re back in form. After a barren run of four weeks without a win, two of our “flutter” markets came in last time out, with both Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale helping us to get one over on Paddy and leave us in buoyant mood going into this weekend’s selection of Scout Pick inspired bets.

With our winnings secured tightly in our mitts, we’re straight in with our bet of the week. Marouane Fellaini is surely due a goal after missing countless opportunities in recent matches. He could be playing his last game at Goodison and we’ve shown confidence in the Belgian by backing him in the Scout Picks. With Paddy offering 5/1 on a Fellaini goal with an Everton clean sheet against West Ham, it seems a no-brainer to put our money where our mouth is and go a stage further. We’ll put a cocky £4 on this one.

We’re equally confident about Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge this week. Frustrated by Everton in the Merseyside stalemate, we just can’t see Martin Jol’s back four coping with Sturridge and, with the Cottagers in such miserable form, Paddy’s offer of 11/2 on a Sturridge goal with a Liverpool clean sheet against Fulham look favourable enough to warrant another £2 of our stake.

Adam Johnson was pushed up behind Danny Graham in a central role by Paolo Di Canio in Monday’s draw with the Potters. He’ll surely be deployed in a similar position for the Black Cats’ crunch encounter with Southampton and we’re backing him to make the difference with a spot on our Scout Picks bench. Paddy aren’t so sure and have a Johnson goal with a Sunderland clean sheet against the Saints at a tempting 13/1. We’ll gladly take that for another £2.

That leaves another couple of quid for this week’s treble. Having narrowly missed out in last week’s bet – we just needed a Sergio Aguero goal at Swansea to give us a third win – again, we’re feeling in confident mood. Paddy have slapped 5/1 on a Gareth Bale goal at Stoke, a Robin Van Persie strike in the emotional home clash with Swansea and a clean sheet for Everton against the Hammers.

      Hard one. Initially I thought RVP but the more I think about it, the greater the chance of some SAF rotation. Walcott as it stands but could go either way imo.

      Yes. It'll be the same 4-4-2/4-2-3-1.
      Any changes won't be massively drastic.
