We back a trio of Scout Picks in this week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy Power. Tenner in hand, we hope to take advantage of some strong home games for three of the top four before the fixture list starts to play havoc from next weekend onwards.

Our first stop is at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea are set to welcome Everton in the first match of the Gameweek. Paddy are offering very inviting odds of 5/1 on Eden Hazard to score and Jose Mourinho’s side to keep a clean sheet. Given that the Belgian has notched in three of his previous five home matches and the Blues have conceded just three times in the last 10 league matches, this one looks too good to turn down and takes £3 of our kitty.

Next up, we shift our attentions to the Emirates, as Arsenal look to bounce back from their midweek Champions League loss at the hand of Bayern Munich. This time around, Paddy are prepared to offer 6/1 on a Santi Cazorla goal and Gunners clean sheet – bearing in mind that Arsene Wenger’s side have conceded once in their last nine at home and Cazorla has notched three times in the last five, we’re willing to shell out a further £3 on this one.

Our final £4 goes on Liverpool’s home game against Swansea. Paddy are offering 6/1 on Luis Suarez to score two or more and Brendan Rodgers’ side to keep a clean sheet against the weary Welsh outfit. Suarez may have toiled for goals in recent matches but with 16 of his 22 strikes arriving at Anfield, it’s fair to say he prefers home comforts and will fancy his chances of returning to form against a Swans side fatigued by their Europa League clash with Napoli on Thursday evening.

If you’re new to Paddy Power, then you can take up any of these odds and get yourself a bonus. You can sign up on this site and get a free £20 when you register an account and bet a tenner.

    My team is:

    Marshall

    Azpi-Zabaleta-Koscielny

    Hazard-Lallana-Silva-Mata

    SuareZ-Sturridge-JRod

    sub: Mannone,Mirallas,Coleman,Ward

    2 FT, nothing in the bank...

    My plan for next weeks:

    GW27 : Mirallas-> Paulinho still 2FT for gw 28
    GW28 : Zabaleta & Silva-> Ivanovic & Snodgrass 11 playing,no hits
    GW29 : Sturridge -> RVP 11 playing,no hits

    Good plan?? Any suggestions???

    What's the situation with Rafael? There is absolutely no news about him anywhere but he's yellow flagged in the game.

    He came off with a head injury last game and I'm not sure how to handle the silence.

    Is he in squad etc?
