The coach of an English Premier League team fears that in today's match Michael Owen, who is currently in poor form and has forgotten how to score goals, could shine again. After returning from injury, one of England's best strikers scored only 3 goals in 14 matches.
Although M.Owen has missed two penalties in the last month, "Portsmouth" coach Harris Redknapp said: "M.Owen is a fantastic striker and a top-level footballer. He scored against us in the FA Cup and we had to fight like tigers to equalize the result, and then secure the victory in extra time. He has not lost his class and we won't have to wait long for his goals. In addition, he has a strong character - even though he missed a few penalties, he stands calmly and scores against others."
"Liverpool" needs a win today in order to compete for the 4th place and a spot in next year's Champions League, while "Portsmouth" players, currently in 18th place in the English championship, also need points as they are facing relegation to a lower league.
