Former English striker Michael Own have stated his Premier League prediction against; Aston Villa vs Liverpool and Wolves vs Man City.
With less than two weeks to go of the EPL season, there is still so much to play for at both ends of the table.
The title race took a big turn over the weekend when Manchester City opened up a three point gap over Liverpool, but there could be more twists and turns with both sides in action in midweek. The Reds travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday, while City visit Wolves on Wednesday.
Meanwhile there is still the threat of relegation towering for several sides at the bottom, with Watford and Norwich City’s demotions to the Championship the only things determined thus far. And former Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United striker Michael Owen has given his verdict ahead of this impending midweek action in another sensational round of fixtures.
Liverpool suffered a huge reversal in their quest to win the quadruple this season when they dropped points at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, with Luis Diaz rescuing a point in the 1-1 draw at Anfield. They now face a tough midweek trip away to Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa, who have won their last two fixtures, but Owen predicts the Reds to come away with a win.
He told BetVictor: “That was an impressive win for Villa at Turf Moor on Saturday. Burnley have been in good form, so to go and score three shows how dangerous this Villa side can be. Outside the top six, there’s not many sides who have the quality and the options that Villa do in attack.
“Liverpool didn’t play poorly against Spurs, but it was a draw nonetheless. They’ve been winning so many games that it was unavoidable they would drop points at some point. Liverpool just have to win their remaining games and see where that takes them. I can’t see them dropping points here, I’m predicting a 3-1 win. And City win”.
