Owen return a boost for ’Pool

GERARD HOULLIER takes his inconsistent side back to the ground where last season’s title decline started believing Michael Owen’s comeback will haul Liverpool back on course this time around.

Last term Liverpool had gone 12 games unbeaten and were top when they lost at Middlesbrough.

That defeat sent the Anfield men plunging to a league run of 11 winless games from which they took just five points, ending their title hopes.
