Manchester Utd v Chelsea Tip

We're backing one of Jose's chief lieutenants, with money-back if the deadliest striker in England finds the net.

Bank Holiday Monday sees the first heavyweight clash of the new Premier League season as David Moyes marks his first home game as Manchester United boss against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea.

It’s a hard game to call so it seems a perfect opportunity to take advantage of PaddyPower’s enticing looking money-back offer. The Irish firm will refund a number of bets, including first goalscorer wagers, if Robin Van Persie scores at anytime. Given that the Dutchman has found the net 76 times in Premier League fixtures since January 2011, that looks like the right play.

I’m going to take Frank Lampard to break the deadlock; Paddy offer market-leading odds of 10/1 on the England man, as well as the money-back concession. The veteran fired a fantastic 15 goals in just 29 appearances in 2012-13 and is off and running already this term after striking against Hull direct from a 30-yard free-kick.

Lampard has had eight shots in two matches and shows no signs of being a diminishing threat. One of Mourinho’s favourites, he also looks a likely starter again at Old Trafford.

If Robin Van Persie scores at anytime in this match, PaddyPower will refund all losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast Singles on the match, up to £100.
