Phil Thompson has revealed that Michael Owen will be fit to face Arsenal in the top-of-the-table clash next Sunday.

Owen didn't travel with the Liverpool team who were thrashed four-nil at Stamford Bridge today but Thompson insists Owen WILL be available to face the Gunners.

"Michael felt a slight twinge in his hamstring which he felt after training on Friday and after a long chat with Michael, we decided it was best not to risk him.

"Michael was quite positive though about the situation and he feels he'll be ready to play Arsenal next week."
