Michael Owen says Liverpool vs Manchester United is the biggest game in Britain

The two rivals lock horns today at Anfield.

And Owen, who played for both, is eagerly anticipating and thinks over a billion viewers will be watching on.

Liverpool come into in poor form having won just once in seven matches while Manchester United are second only on goal difference.

Biggest game in Britain takes centre stage today,” Owen said on Twitter. 

“Liverpool normally brilliant at home in big games. United's 1st major test of the season.
