Michael Owen makes top-four prediction after Liverpool’s win over West Brom

Michael Owen has predicted which two teams will make it to the top four after Liverpool’s win over West Brom on Sunday.

Alisson popped up with a stunning header in the 95th minute to keep Liverpool’s hopes of securing a place in the Champions League intact.




Jurgen Klopp’s side are now just within one point of fourth-placed Chelsea with two matches left to play this campaign – against Burnley and Crystal Palace.

The Blues play third-placed Leicester City on Tuesday, before facing Aston Villa on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Leicester, who are currently two points ahead of Chelsea, will play against Tottenham on the final day of the campaign.

And Owen believes Leicester will drop out of the top four, with Chelsea and Liverpool securing Champions League football along with Manchester City and second-placed Manchester United for next season.




‘It’s been a strange season for Liverpool,’ Owen told Premier League Productions. ‘In the last few games they’ve missed so many chances and created so much.

‘Today there were a few chances but it was a disappointing performance on the whole. ‘That last-minute goal will paper over the cracks in terms of the performance because I thought it was only okay.

‘But at this stage of the season it really doesn’t matter. Roll on Burnley next and it’s another must-win game.




‘You would say that Liverpool’s remaining fixtures are the easiest out of the three teams, and it’s definitely two from three now, I can’t see the likes of Tottenham [sixth place] or anybody else squeezing into the party, West Ham [seventh place].

‘I think it is Liverpool, Leicester and Chelsea, two from those three and I think it’s going to be Liverpool and one other.’

When pressed for an answer on the other club, Owen said: ‘It’s so hard. I think Liverpool and Chelsea, I think Chelsea might beat Leicester.’
