Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker, Michael Owen, has predicted the winner of today’s Premier League fixture between Brentford and the Red Devils.
Owen also predicted the winner of Leicester City’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium.
Providing his predictions, Owen told BetVictor: “Leicester now have four games in hand on some of the teams above them in the league, starting with this one.
“They will still be targeting a top-six finish and will likely need a win here to keep that alive.
We all know what a demanding and intense coach Conte can be, so extra time on the training ground will be a good thing.
I really don’t think there’s much between these two at the minute. I can’t see many goals in this game. 1-0 to Spurs.”
Commenting on the Brentford vs Man United game, Owen said, “I was disappointed from what I saw from Brentford against Liverpool. That’s now seven goals conceded in two games and despite making a good start to the league, they aren’t safe just yet. They’ve got a difficult run of games to come, and they’ll be desperate to not get dragged into the relegation fight.
Ralf Rangnick will be gutted to not hold on to the win against Villa. They were in control of the game, so to not get the win was a blow. The positive would be that Bruno Fernandes looked back to his best. He’s not been up to his usual standards this season, but he took his second goal with a calm finish.
“Man United are clearly having defensive issues, so I can see them conceding here. I don’t think Brentford can score more than one though and I think United will win this. 2-1 to Man United.”
The kick-off time for Leicester City vs Tottenham is 8.30 pm, while that of Brentford vs Man United is 9 pm.
