Former Liverpool striker, Michael Owen has tipped the Reds to challenge Manchester City for the title again this season despite the club’s poor run of form so far in the new season.
Owen made this prediction after Liverpool’s 2-1 over Ajax in Tuesday night champions league encounter.
Liverpool pushed champions Manchester City all the way in 2021-2022, only missing out on the top spot by a point after a dramatic final day.
However, after six matches of the new season, the Reds are already five points behind Pep Guardiola’s side and six behind early leaders Arsenal.
Owen said the Reds will bounce back and push Manchester City to the Limit in this season’s pursuit of English Premier League title.
“They have had an average start,” Owen said on BT Sport. “In the league, you don’t want to be giving Manchester City a head start, but it is nothing they cannot recover from.
“You don’t turn into a bad team overnight. They will be back but need to do it before teams get away from them.”
Liverpool are currently occupying the 7th position on the English Premier League log and five points behind Manchester City who are occupying the second position.
