Michael Owen has been impressed by Liverpool’s revival (Picture: Getty) Michael Owen says Arsenal and Manchester City should be ‘fearful’ of Liverpool, who he still rates as the ‘best team in the world’ when they are at their best. While Owen says his boyhood club Liverpool are ‘not at their best’, he insists they remain a ‘seriously good team’ who the two title favourites – Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Pep Guardiola’s Man City – should ‘fear’.

Owen expects Slot’s Liverpool to be ‘title contenders’ for the rest of the decade and claims they are still ‘the best team in the world’ when at their ‘absolute peak’. Liverpool appear to have turned a corner (Picture: Getty) ‘Obviously, they’re not playing their very best,’ Owen said on Premier League Productions when asked about Liverpool’s form. ‘They have done in patches but have not been consistently very good. ‘I do feel at the moment, they need to score the first goal because they are quite vulnerable and conceded chances. ‘The confidence of keeping a clean sheet and winning another game after going away in Europe playing a tricky game… this is a seriously good team.

Can Liverpool still win the Premier League? Liverpool aren’t purring at the moment but they will be soon, there’s no doubt about it.’ Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 on Saturday and return to Premier League action next weekend against inconsistent Tottenham.
