Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has warned Premier League Champions Chelsea that the Reds will be the fresher side when they host the Stamford Bridge side at Anfield on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side head into the match fresh from having lavished a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with La Liga side Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League in Spain on Tuesday.
The Blues, meanwhile, travelled to far away Azerbaijan to play Qarabag on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League and will then shift their focus towards getting prepared for their crucial English Premier League encounter against Liverpool FC on Saturday.
Liverpool’s players will have been downhearted to have let the 3-goal lead slip and have to make do with a point against Sevilla on Tuesday night.
However, Michael Owen believes that the Reds should be aiming for the positives, including the extra day’s advantage to rest adequately and prepare for Saturday’s match with Chelsea.
The Blues head into the match on Saturday evening fresh from their brilliant 4-0 win over West Brom before a 4-0 victory at Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
Antonio Conte’s men also defeated Manchester United prior to the international break to have them climb to third in the Premier League table and nine points behind Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
