Michael Owen has claimed that he would back Liverpool to win “against any side” in their current form, ahead of Wednesday night’s clash with bitter rivals Manchester United.
The Reds are preparing to host United and will be hoping for a repeat of their unforgettable, Mohamed Salah-inspired 5-0 win at Old Trafford earlier this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side certainly head into the reverse fixture in a rich vein of form, having not lost in the league since December and recently booking their place in the FA Cup final.
Meanwhile, United are battling for a Champions League place and are currently three points adrift of Tottenham in 4th, after recording a hard-fought win over Norwich at the weekend. The club have confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be absent for Wednesday’s game at Anfield and ex-striker Owen has predicted an easy win for Liverpool.
