Michael Owen has released his prediction on Twitter for how the 2023/24 Premier League table will look come the end of the season.
The former Liverpool forward has tipped the Reds for an immediate return to the Champions League but only placed Jurgen Klopp’s side third in the table behind Arsenal in second and Manchester City at the top.
If the Sky Blues are to win the title next season it will be their fourth in a row and the sixth time they’ve won it in the last seven years – with us being the only exception as we lifted the title at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

Liverpool fans will be happy, however, to see that Owen has placed us above another of his former teams Manchester United.
The 43-year-old believes the Old Trafford outfit will snatch the final Champions League spot while Chelsea will have to settle for the Europa League and Spurs will be way back in ninth.
It remains to be seen how accurate the ex-Real Madrid man’s prediction will be – let’s hope he’s off the mark and Liverpool are instead top of the pile!

If I valued his opinion, I’d flush the toilet.
No way we place above 6th, at best! We lost the plot and we are not in the same league financially with City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Newcastle.
FSG out, now!
i think 6 is optimistic, top half of table with current midfield is going to be a challenge ,how we can let 5 midfielders leave but only sign 2 and think we have improved the squad is farcical . if they can’t afford to keep up with other clubs , sell up and let us buy some decent players
