Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.
The Magpies will take on Huddersfield Town away from home at the John Smith’s Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Former Newcastle striker Owen has predicted the game to end in a 1-1 draw, while also criticising midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.
The 25-year-old former Liverpool and Swansea City midfielder was sent off during the Magpies’ Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
The England international, who cost the Magpies £12 million in transfer fees when he joined from Swansea City in the January 2016 as reported by The Guardian, was shown a straight red in the opening minutes of the second half for standing on Spurs midfielder Dele Alli.
It was goalless at the time, but the North London outfit scored twice thereafter to pick up all three points from the encounter courtesy of a 2-0 victory.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield – who, like Newcastle, got promoted from the Championship at the end of last season – won 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London in the Premier League last weekend.
“Hard to know what to say about Jonjo Shelvey’s latest red card against Spurs last weekend other than he let himself and his teammates down,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com. “He needs to have a good hard look at himself before he puts on the famous black and white shirt again.
“The Terriers could not have dreamt of a better start to their first PL season, but they may have to settle for a point against the Magpies who were well in the game against Spurs at St James’s Park until they went down to ten men.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Game to finish 1-1 at 11/2.”
