Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has shared his predictions for the upcoming Premier League season, tipping the Reds to secure a return to the Champions League.
After finishing fifth in the Premier League in the previous season, Liverpool is determined to regain its place among Europe's elite clubs. It was the first time under Jürgen Klopp's management that the Reds failed to secure a top-four finish in a full campaign for the German.
