Michael Owen has revealed he believes Manchester United will take points off Manchester City in the derby on Wednesday evening, handing Liverpool a boost in the Premier League title race.
City can move above second place Liverpool with a victory over their hometown rivals, while United can move into the top four if they secure three points.
The Red Devils lost 4-0 at Everton on Sunday and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need a far better showing against the current Premier League champions, who defeated Spurs 1-0 at the Etihad on Saturday.
However, former Liverpool and United striker Owen is backing Solskjaer's side to hold their local rivals to a 2-2 draw despite their recent struggles.
