Owen aiming for a record five goals from five games

STRIKER Michael Owen is ahead of his time, according to manager Gerard Houllier.

The Reds boss rates Owen as one of the best goal-scorers in the world and has warned Celtic to be on their guard as the two giants go head-to-head in their Battle of Britain UEFA Cup quarter-final.

Owen is aiming to secure a personal scoring record for Liverpool if he can make it five in his last five games.
