"Solid": Michael Owen states his prediction for Barnsley v Chelsea

Michael Owen has backed Chelsea to secure a victory over Barnsley on Thursday night. The Blues have played their last four games in the Premier League successfully, while now they will be in action in the FA Cup 5th round. Ahead of the clash, Michael Owen has given his prediction. The pundit believes Thomas Tuchel's team will celebrate a 0 - 2 win over the rivals. "It’s been so far, so good for Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea. The Blues certainly look more solid and come into this with their tails up after a good run of results," he said. "Barnsley will be hoping Chelsea will have an off day here and even if that was the case they’d need to be at their very best. "I can only see this one going one way, and that’s with Chelsea being in the draw for the quarter-finals."
