FOOTBALL fans have been left bemused by Michael Owen following his 2023/24 Premier League predictions.

England’s top flight gets underway on Friday, August 11 when Burnley host defending champions Manchester City.

But the annual curtain raiser takes place on Sunday as Pep Guardiola‘s Treble winners take on Arsenal at Wembley.

Ahead of the new season, Owen has guessed where each of the 20 teams will finish come the end of the campaign.

Unsurprisingly, he has Man City claiming a sixth league title in seven years.

The rest of his top four consists of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Owen believes Chelsea will narrowly miss out on Champions League football, followed by Newcastle and Brighton.

And he has gone out on a limb by predicting Tottenham will finish down in ninth.

His three relegated teams are Wolves, Sheffield United and Luton.

But social media has taken apart some of his placings as Owen was critiqued – particularly by Tottenham supporters.

One said: “You hate Spurs that’s my thoughts.”

Another added: “On what basis does Spurs finish 9th? Also think you’ve underrated Burnley here and completely overrated West Ham.”

Others were also sceptical of Owen’s predictions as one replied: “How can a strengthened Newcastle United fall 3 places? Will not happen.”

While a cutting fan simply responded: “The truth is you are always wrong..”
