Stoke City striker Michael Owen hopes to see action against Liverpool.

The former England international enjoyed the most prolific days of his career at Liverpool, where he came through the youth ranks.

He told Independent Sports News: "It is a strange feeling really playing against your old club, especially one where you were there for around 15 years.

"Liverpool are a big part of my life and career and I had some of the best times of my life at the club.

"So certainly I have happy memories. I have not been so happy playing against them since; I have never scored and not particularly enjoyed it."
