Paddy Power are refunding all losing bets on tonight's match between England and Spain at Wembley if the Three Lions beat the world champions.

England host Spain at Wembley this evening and the bookmakers aren't giving much hope to the Three Lions, with the visitors now a best price of 6/7 with Unibet to win the match.

Paddy Power are so confident that England won't win that they have offered to refund all losing First Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast bets on the match if the hosts claim victory. It may be unlikely but it does give customers an excellent opportunity to place some bets on the game, with a nice safety net if things don't go according to plan.

The best way to profit from Paddy's offer is to look at the Spain team and identify their main scoring threats. If the bookmakers are right, and Spain are to win at Wembley, then who will score their goals?

The most obvious goalscorer is David Villa, who can be backed at 9/2 with Paddy Power. The former hasn't been in top form for Barcelona this season but he is virtually unstoppable for the national side. He is Spain's record scorer, with his goal against Scotland taking him to 50 international goals in 80 appearances, which makes him one of the best goals to games strikers of all time. Villa has to be considered the main goal threat.

Second to Villa is his former Valencia team mate David Silva, who has been sublime for Manchester City this season. The 25-year-old opened the scoring in Spain's 3-1 win over Scotland last month, finding the net after just 5-minutes, and is likely to be the most advanced of all the Spanish midfielders tonight. Silva is 8/1 to score the first goal tonight and he will fancy his chances, particularly as he has experience in the Premier League against England's defenders and must regularly put the ball past Joe Hart in Manchester City training.

The final selection is one that may raise a few eyebrows but Xabi Alonso is a player that should be considered when looking for Spain goalscorers. The Real Madrid midfielder is not a regular scorer at club level but he tends to play with more freedom when playing for the national side, as Xavi and Sergio Busquets allow him to push forward. Alonso loves to strike the ball from distance and scored on his last start, against Czech Republic last month. He was also on target in friendly wins over Italy and USA earlier this year, bringing his total to 3 goals in 5 his last five appearances. With that sort of record odds of 22/1 on the former Liverpool man scream value.

Alonso one time Liverpool team mate, Fernando Torres, who is 6/1 to open the scoring, could be considered but he has not been scoring for Chelsea and has not scored a goal for Spain since netting as a second half substitute in a friendly against USA in June.

Remember to ensure that all First Goalscorer bets are placed at Paddy Power as they will be refunded should Spain lose to England tonight.
