Owen makes Man Utd and Liverpool EFL Cup predictions

Michael Owen thinks Manchester United will overcome League One side Rochdale in the EFL Cup despite their injury worries.

Marcus Rashford joined Anthony Martial in the treatment room over the weekend as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes Mason Greenwood can recover from tonsillitis to lead their attack.

“United are short of striking options with Marcus Rashford hobbling off with what looked like a groin injury against West Ham on Sunday,” Owen told BetVictor.

“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is optimistic, however, that Mason Greenwood, who scored the winner against Astana on Thursday in the Europa League, will be over the illness that prevented him travelling to London at the weekend.

“Rochdale have lost three of their last four games in all competitions and I expect to see United return to winning ways back on home soil.”

Meanwhile, Liverpool travel to MK Dons on Wednesday night and Owen is looking forward to seeing youngster Rhian Brewster if Jurgen Klopp chooses to play him.

Owen added: “Liverpool passed their first major examination of their title credentials at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Jurgen Klopp looks sure to shuffle his talented pack at Stadium MK.

“Rhian Brewster is likely to make his debut for Liverpool against the Dons and I am looking forward to seeing the striker’s first appearance in a red shirt. It won’t be his last.”
