Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker, Michael Owen, has predicted Arsenal to defeat Fulham 3-1 in the Premier League fixture for Tuesday evening.
He also tipped Manchester City to play a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League fixture to be played on Thursday night at the Etihad Stadium.
According to him, Manchester United will defeat Newcastle United 2-0 on Wednesday night in the Premier League fixture.
He, however, tipped Chelsea to beat Southampton 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in the Premier League fixture.
Owen told Betvictor: Arsenal are taken to bounce back from their Anfield mauling when they had their limitations cruelly exposed by a rampant Liverpool side on Saturday evening. Aleksandar Mitrovic’s late winner gave Fulham a much-needed three points against Huddersfield at Craven Cottage, but the Gunners are a different proposition back at the Emirates and they are taken to keep the points from this London Derby. Michael’s Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Fulham”.
On the Manchester City vs Liverpool game, Owen said: “City won the corresponding fixture 5-0 last season, but that comprehensive win, following Sadio Mane’s red card, is their only win in the last 11 games between the clubs. I feel Liverpool will maintain their seven-point lead over City in the title-race by picking up a vital point at the Etihad.
“Sergio Aguero was back among the goals at St Mary’s on Sunday and the striker has scored in all six home league games against Liverpool. He may continue that sequence against Jurgen Klopp’s side, but I still feel the Reds will do enough to get a draw in what promises to be a cracker. Michael’s Prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool”.
Commenting on the Newcastle vs Man United game, Owen said: “Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will become just the second manager in the history of Manchester United – after Sir Matt Busby in 1946 – to win his first four games in charge of the club if his rejuvenated and energetic United side win at St James’s Park on Wednesday.
“The Magpies have lost seven of their ten home Premier League games so far this season but Rafa Benitez has won his last four home games against Manchester United with Premier League sides in all competitions – 2 x Liverpool, 1 x Chelsea and 1 x Newcastle. It promises to be an electric atmosphere at St James’s Park, but I expect the visitors to maintain their renaissance under Solksjaer and take all three points. Michael’s Prediction: Newcastle United 0-2 Manchester United”.
On the Chelsea vs Southampton game, Owen said: “Chelsea were narrow but convincing winners at Selhurst Park on Sunday and I feel they will put behind their loss to Leicester in their last home game.
“The Saints made six changes to the side beaten at home by West Ham when Manchester City were the visitors and I was slightly surprised to see the inform Nathan Redmond left on the bench until the second half. By that time the Saints were 3-1 down – I expect the points to stay in the capital. Michael’s Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Southampton.”
