Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that he expects both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to score this weekend.

Tottenham and Liverpool will face each other at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

It promises to be a hugely entertaining game, and both sides will fancy their chances of picking up all three points.

Former Liverpool striker Owen believes that both Spurs and Jurgen Klopp’s side will score at White Hart Lane.

“Spurs are without a win in their last seven PL games against the Reds but what Liverpool will turn up?” the Englishman wrote on Betvictor.com. “The side who lit up the Emirates on the opening weekend or the one who never looked like breaking down a resolute Burnley at Turf Moor.

“Spurs are unbeaten this term, but are yet to hit the heights of last season and I was surprised to see Dele Alli left out of the starting XI against Palace last weekend; expect him to be back for a game that could go either way and promises to be a cracker.”

A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Both Teams To Score at 4/7.”

Both Tottenham and Liverpool are attack-minded teams, and there is a very good chance that Owen’s prediction could come true.

Spurs will head into the match as favourites, but an early goal for Jurgen Klopp’s side could make things tricky for the North London outfit.

Arsenal are also in action in the Premier League this weekend. The Gunners will face Watford away from home at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.

Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Owen believes that there will be at least three goals in the game between the Hornets and the Gunners.

“The Hornets have lost all six games against the Gunners in the PL but they gave Chelsea a fright at Vicarage Road last weekend and this is a tough game to predict; Watford have led in both PL games so far this term but have only picked up a point; I think there will be goals again at the weekend,” the former Newcastle United striker wrote on Betvictor.com.

A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Over 2.5 goals at 20/23.”

Arsenal have yet to win in the Premier League this season, but Arsene Wenger’s side will fancy their chances against Watford.

The Gunners’ problems at the back mean that they are unlikely to concede, but it is hard to see Watford pick up all three points from he encounter.
