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.

Register and Bet £10 And Get £20 Free

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.

    In an unusual position this week : I have two frees so have to use one, but probably won't play whoever I bring in.

    Would you do Yoshida to Olsson, or AJ to Ince? And if you did, would you play them over Coleman/Noone??

    I'm leaning towards Olsson and benching him, just in case Sunderland get a game rescheduled some time soon and I want AJ back. Any thoughts???

    Mert's awful run could provide the key.

      Mirallas surely. Free kicks and he's a greedy bugger.

    Surprised Suarez so far ahead of Sturridge in captain, Sturridge in far better points scoring form.

    Suarez has seemed happiest when putting it in a plate for Sturridge

    Seriously considering captaining Sturridge.

      Go for it. He is in better form but Suarez will almost certainly be my captain over Sturridge (every week)

        Agreed Suarez is better than Sturridge long term but Sturridge is bang in form!
