Owen makes prediction for Liverpool vs West Ham, Manchester derby

Michael Owen has predicted the outcome of Liverpool vs West Ham and the Manchester derby ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures.

Liverpool are in great form at the moment as they have not been beaten across all competitions this year.

They have also only lost twice since the start of November. Before Leicester City bested them in the Premier League, they lost 3-2 to West Ham at the London Stadium.

Ahead of this clash, Liverpool sit second in the table while West Ham are 15 points adrift of them in fifth.

Owen believes Liverpool “will score a few” at Anfield:

‘I thought some of Liverpool’s play was superb against Chelsea last week,” Owen said (via the Mirror).

“West Ham haven’t been playing well of late, but that was a huge win over Wolves last week. They kept their small chance of a top four finish alive and got a bit of confidence back. A defeat here though, and I think there’s too many teams ahead of them in that race for 4th.
