Michael Owen reckons the coming week could have a huge bearing on Liverpool ’s season — because they no longer have a 'Get Out Of Jail Free card'.

Next Sunday, they then face Arsenal in the Premier League and if after their mixed start to the season they were to suffer another defeat, then they could well find the gap between themselves and favourites Manchester City was already too great to overcome. Owen said: “There’s no denying Liverpool have not been at their best this season but they can easily bounce back.
