Former England national team player Michael Owen shared his thoughts on which teams have the best chances for the championship in the English Premier League this new season. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Michael Owen highly rated the performance of the reigning champion "Liverpool" last season. According to him, "Liverpool" secured the championship with a 10-point lead.
However, the team only gathered two points in the last four matches, as during this period the players did not fully exert themselves in the fight for the championship. Michael Owen emphasized that "Liverpool" strengthened its squad during the summer transfer window, which will create a foundation for achieving high results this new season.
Owen also mentioned that there are two other main rivals for the championship this season. In his opinion, "Arsenal" has done well in the transfer market and formed a strong squad.
"Chelsea," on the other hand, has been showing stable performance lately and has emerged victorious in the Club World Cup. Therefore, Michael Owen considers these three teams as the main contenders for the new season and predicts that the fight for the championship will take place among them.
