Michael Owen believes that the title will be once again a tightly contested affair between only two teams, Manchester United and Chelsea. What do you think?
Owen, who joined United on a free transfer last summer, scored his ninth goal of the season during the Carling Cup final in February before suffering a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the run-in. "My fitness is good," he said. "I saw the surgeon in London two weeks ago and he was really pleased. Everything went well with the operation and the aim is to be doing everything with the lads on the first day of pre-season training."
He's a great talent but injuries won't let him back into the England squad.
His last appearance for his country was in March 2008 and since then Fabio Capello always preferred other strikers. But Michael Owen say that he isn't giving up: "I've got 89 caps so far. I played for England for many years, starting when I was 18. I played basically right the way through until about two years ago, which was my last game. So hopefully I will play for them again one day, you never know."
