Denied winnings by the woodwork after Robin van Persie notched one but struck the bar against Palace, weโ€™re three Flutters down and still without a win. Nevertheless, weโ€™re turning up with another tenner this week, determined to turn the tide via another array of Scout Pickโ€™s inspired markets from Paddy Power.

Before we look at those, however, a reminder of Paddyโ€™s special odds on offer for Sundayโ€™s Manchester derby. If youโ€™ve yet to sign up for an account with Paddy, you can get exclusive enhanced 7/1 odds on a United win against City. The regular odds are 23/10 so this is a great deal for those who register new accounts ahead of Sundayโ€™s clash.

If youโ€™re an existing customer, you can still take advantage of a Paddy offer โ€“ thereโ€™s a a money back special on Sunday’s clash โ€“ if United win the game, theyโ€™ll refund any losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.

Moving to this weekโ€™s Flutter markets, we start with the hot favourite for the Gameweek armband. Arsenalโ€™s Olivier Giroud tops our poll with 22% of the vote ahead of Liverpoolโ€™s Daniel Sturridge, with both strikers having claimed four goals in four league starts thus far. Both find a home in this weekโ€™s Picks, although weโ€™re looking to Giroud to help us prise some cash from Paddy Power. Our bookmaker friends are offering 8/1 on Giroud scoring two or more goals with an Arsenal clean sheet against visiting Stoke; weโ€™re happy to take them up on that to the tune of ยฃ3 of our stake.

As we move into the Scout Picks midfield, we find a man in form in the shape of Swanseaโ€™s Mihcu. Having notched in back-to-back matches this week, Michu makes a trip to Selhurst Park on Sunday, perhaps leggy from Europa League exploits but, nonetheless, sure to provide the key threat to Ian Hollowayโ€™s men. The Spaniard takes pride of place back in our Picks for the first time this season and Paddy have put odds of 15/2 on Michu netting a third goal in a week, with the Swans keeping a shut-out. Weโ€™ll gladly throw them another ยฃ3 of our tenner on this one.

Finally, Hatem Ben Arfa is another man in form and heavily backed going into the Gameweek. With Hull City visiting St Jamesโ€™ Park, many have already banked a third consecutive win for Alan Pardewโ€™s outfit. If that turns out to be the case, then Ben Arfa is surely set to play his part. Paddy have a Ben Arfa goal with a Newcastle shut-out at 7/1, making it our bet of the week and enough to prise the final ยฃ4 from our mitts.

Register and Bet ยฃ10 And Get ยฃ20 Free

If youโ€™re new to Paddy Power, then you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up via this site and get a free ยฃ20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

Finally, of course, we should state that all these offers are only available to those aged 18 and over and are subject to Paddy Powerโ€™s terms and conditions. Also, if you’re going to bet, always gamble responsibly.

      I'm captaining Oscar but not worth taking a hit to get him, esp over Haz... I think my (c) is a big punt

    Cannot believe more isnt being made of Mourinho dropping Mata. Yes sometimes he doesnt track back, but I think thats a minor offence in the grand scheme of things given his creativity.

    Mental. I would be protesting if I was a Chelsea fan

    or

    Giroud vs STO + swa and Eriksen vs chelsea

    On a wildcard and struggling with defenders.

    Any tips or suggestions? Think the only defender i'm happy with atm is Coleman. The rest are Toure, Wilkinson, Jenkins & Fonte.
