“The corresponding fixture was won 4-3 by Stoke last season but I don’t expect this new-look Everton to be as benevolent under Ronald Koeman,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.
“The Blues need Romelu Lukaku back to his best (hasn’t scored in his last ten) and I think the hosts will keep the points.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Everton to win at 8/11.”
