Michael Owen to return against Liverpool?

Stoke City striker Michael Owen has hinted that he will make his comeback in Wednesday's Premier League meeting against former club Liverpool.

A host of injuries have kept the former England striker on the sidelines this season, but the 33-year-old is expected to feature at the Britannia Stadium.

"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," he told Sky Sports News.

"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."

Stoke are unbeaten in their last eight matches in the Premier League.
