Owen claims Liverpool best PL team despite poor form

Ex-England striker Michael Owen has named Liverpool as the best Premier League team, despite their current sixth-place position and 19-point deficit to leaders Arsenal. Owen, who played for Liverpool, stated: 'Personally, I think Liverpool are the best team in the Premier League.' He acknowledged their current struggles but argued their potential surpasses other top teams. 'They were really strong last season,' he added, suggesting their best version would outperform rivals. This opinion contrasts with their 2025 title win under Arne Slot, as they now trail Arsenal by 19 points after 34 games. Owen's claim highlights the gap between current performance and perceived quality, sparking debate about team potential versus results.
