We’re feeling flush this weekend after Adam Lallana and the Southampton defence helped us get one over Paddy last time around. We turn to the Scout Picks for inspiration, where Arsenal, City and Chelsea all supply us with a player apiece as we look to end the Gameweek in profit.

Our first stop is at the Emirates, where Arsenal prepare for the visit of struggling Fulham tomorrow afternoon. With Paddy offering 3/1 on Mesut Ozil to score and Arsenal to keep a clean sheet, we’re lumping £3 on this one – the Gunners have conceded once in their last six at home, whilst the German has netted in two of the last three in front of his own supporters.

Next up, we stop by the Etihad for City’s home clash with Cardiff. This time around Paddy is offering 9/2 on Alvaro Negredo to score two or more goals and the hosts to keep a clean sheet – a scenario that happened as recently as Wednesday evening. We make this our bet of the week and throw £4 Paddy’s way for this one, with the Bluebirds looking there for the taking.

Our final few quid is saved for Sunday afternoon’s Stamford Bridge showdown between Chelsea and United. Paddy are again in very generous mood and offer 15/2 on Eden Hazard to score and Jose Mourinho’s side to keep a clean sheet – the Belgian has notched in three of the last four, whilst his defensive team-mates have conceded once in the last five league matches. We empty our wallet of the remaining £3 and back the Belgian to add to David Moyes’ woes.

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.

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

    Jizzworthy?...

    Hart/3.9

    Coleman, Merts, Azpi, Evans, Chester

    Cabaye, Eriksen, Lallana, Yaya, Hazard

    Suarez, Aguero Berahino

    No Arsenal attacking coverage is a concern but Ozil's a rip off at 10,1 and Giroud's a frustrating donkey (imo). Anyways, Ramsey could always slot in if he takes up where he left off.

    I'd be keen to hear if you all think I have got my bench right today, or whether you would play someone I have benched over someone I am starting:

    GK: Howard
    DEF: Kolarov
    DEF: Mertesacker
    DEF: Coleman
    MID: Eriksen
    MID: Silva
    MID: Sterling
    MID: Hazard
    FWD: Aguero
    FWD: Suarez
    FWD: Adebayor

    SUB: Sagna
    SUB: Januzaj
    SUB: Gabbidon

    I always play 3-4-3 usually, but I can see justification for a 4-3-3 today, and also all 3 subs could be in the points. Thanks for any comments.

    Assuming your team is fine, would you WC in gw23 or 24??

    asking coz my current transfer depends on when i intend on using my WC.

    some considerations:
    - 10 day vs 3 day gap....thus better to WC for gw23
    - cup matches next gw so potential for injuries....better to WC for gw23
    - fixture swings? cant seem to figure this one out ito where the advantage lies
    - new players coming on deadline day...shdnt make a diff as unlikely i will select em for gw24
    - can find out team lineups next gw so can take punts and then WC in gw24
    - anything else i might have missed?

    Based on above, gw23 seems to be the better option right?

      Defence ain't great tbh ..... Perhaps Wiltshire for either Lallana and Eriksen and using the funds to get kolarov or Kos
