Michael Owen states his prediction for Liverpool v Tottenham

Michael Owen has backed Liverpool to secure a victory over Tottenham this week. Both Reds and Spurs are sharing the same amount of points in the league, while Jose Mourino's side are leading the race. However, despite Tottenham's current success, Owen predicts Liverpool's 2 - 1 win over the rivals, with Sadio Mane scoring a goal for his side. "This should be a cracker! As much as I have been impressed with Spurs this season, they come up against a Liverpool side that are undefeated in their last 65 home matches in the Premier League, a quite incredible stat," he said. "This is Spurs’ acid test. Undefeated in their last 11 games, Jose Mourinho’s side will come into this hopeful they can get a result. "I’m expecting them to sit in and go through a bit of pain with the intention to hit on the counter-attack. "Although I think that could work to a certain extent, I reckon Liverpool simply have too much quality going forward. "Sadio Mane is playing wonderfully at the moment. He could be the main man in a narrow home win for Liverpool."
