Michael Owen makes Genk VS Liverpool prediction ahead of Champions League clash

Liverpool meet Genk for the first time in their history tonight as Champions League Group E continues with a trip to Belgium. Michael Owen has backed the Reds to overcome Genk. "Genk have drawn all four of their home games in the group stages of the Champions League including a goalless draw against Napoli on Matchday two," he said. "Liverpool survived a scare against Salzburg to pick up three points last time but, after their reverse in Italy on the opening night, the holders do need a positive result. Genk lost in Liege on Saturday and currently sit third in the Belgium First Division. I think the Reds will gain a vital three points and stamp their authority on the group."
