Michael Owen states his prediction for Liverpool v Aston Villa

Michael Owen has stated his prediction for the Premier League match between Liverpool and Aston Villa. Reds are currently sitting in 7th place in the league table and will be hoping to gain three points on Saturday. Meanwhile, Villa are 9th on the list. And speaking about the upcoming match, Owen has backed Jurgen Klopp's side to beat the rivals with a score of 1 - 0. "Back on home soil, Liverpool will be looking to build on their fantastic away victory at the Emirates last weekend. As poor as Arsenal were, you can’t take anything away from the Reds. It was more like the Liverpool side we’ve become accustomed to over the last few years, so fans will be hoping a return to that kind of form is on the horizon," the pundit said. "Villa got stuck in against Fulham and boy did they get their reward. Three goals inside the last 15 minutes earned them a 3-1 win, however, it wasn’t their best performance of the season by any stretch of the imagination. "I think Villa will sit in here and try to nick one on the counter. There is a danger that when these tactics are employed, the game can end in a stalemate. With that in mind, I don’t expect many goals, however, I think the home side have enough going forward to secure a narrow win."
