Providing his prediction, Owen was quoted by BetVictor as saying:
“It was not the prettiest of games, but Liverpool’s win over Everton was a massive win.
“I actually think that will be a good warm-up game for this, Villareal will play in a very similar way to Everton.
They’ll sit deep and try to frustrate Liverpool.
“Villareal is very organized, and in Emery, have a coach who excels in cup competitions.
They’re dangerous on the break, and the likes of Danjuma are a threat.
