Michael Owen has made a daring forecast about Liverpool this season that might pleasantly surprise Reds fans.
The 44-year-old damaged his reputation with many Liverpool supporters in 2009 when he joined Manchester United. However, it appears he still respects the Merseyside club, where he achieved stardom at the start of the millennium.
The former England striker shared his forecast for the Premier League’s top four on the league’s official Instagram account, offering a prediction that diverges significantly from the views of many pundits.
Owen has predicted Arsenal will be crowned champions and Liverpool will secure second place, while Manchester City will fall to fourth, just behind Aston Villa.
Owen’s prediction for Liverpool sharply contrasts with that of his former Manchester United teammate, Gary Neville, who boldly stated that Liverpool might not even finish in the top six by the end of the season.
The minimum expectation for Arne Slot in his first season at Anfield is to secure a Champions League spot by finishing no lower than fourth. However, the squad he has inherited from Jurgen Klopp should be capable of securing third place.
