Michael Owen believed Man United would finish in the top four, Tottenham ninth and backed Burnley to stay up - so, how accurate were his pre-season Premier League predictions?

Predicting the pre-season Premier League table is always an endeavour laced with peril.

Michael Owen's predictions for the final table this season have resurfaced and while he got some teams spot on, he was wildly off the mark on other clubs.

He had Manchester United down to claim a Champions League spot, but they actually recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish in eighth.

Meanwhile, he had Ange Postecoglou to flop to ninth at Spurs rather than fifth, and Vincent Kompany to keep Burnley up.
