Owen, 45, left football fans stunned in August when he claimed reigning Premier League champions Manchester City would finish FOURTH after winning a record four titles in a row.
Owen told Casino Hawks last summer: "Arsenal and Manchester City will go in virtually everybody's top-four predictions and I think Liverpool will probably be in there as well despite there being some questions over how well Arne Slot will fit in.
After Owen's prediction City experienced a shocking collapse that saw them dropping to seventh place in the table and losing a staggering nine out of their last 12 matches across all competitions.
"It's almost like if City are not gonna be really in the race after 10 games then their priority could go elsewhere - I think there could be a big surprise this season.
MICHAEL OWEN'S bold Premier League top-four prediction resurfaced and has led to immense praise for the England legend.
