Michael Owen the ‘only person in football who saw this coming’ as incredible Premier League prediction resurfaces

MICHAEL OWEN’S bold Premier League top-four prediction resurfaced and has led to immense praise for the England legend.

Owen, 45, left football fans stunned in August when he claimed reigning Premier League champions Manchester City would finish FOURTH after winning a record four titles in a row.

The ex-Liverpool and Manchester United star even suggested that City could struggle to make the top four, especially if they endure a rough start to the campaign.

Owen told Casino Hawks last summer: “Arsenal and Manchester City will go in virtually everybody’s top-four predictions and I think Liverpool will probably be in there as well despite there being some questions over how well Arne Slot will fit in.

“I had a thought about Newcastle but Aston Villa are solid and look to be still improving.

“In terms of the order, my thought process is if City are not gonna win it, they could actually drop away a little bit.

“It’s almost like if City are not gonna be really in the race after 10 games then their priority could go elsewhere – I think there could be a big surprise this season.

“I’m going to go for Arsenal first, Liverpool second, Aston Villa third and Manchester City fourth.”

After Owen‘s prediction City experienced a shocking collapse that saw them dropping to seventh place in the table and losing a staggering nine out of their last 12 matches across all competitions.

And fans took to social media to resurface the legendary striker’s bold prediction, that would see Man City manager Pep Guardiola enduring his worst ever finish if it comes true.

And fans stormed Twitter to praise the pundit’s brave call at a time when many continued to back the Citizens for a fifth straight Premier League title before their unbelievable breakdown.

One fan tweeted: “He’s probably the only person in football that saw this coming.”

Another commented: “He got slated for this, but fair play. He saw their struggles before a lot of us.”

A third wrote: “The king is back.”
