The former Manchester United striker thinks West Ham will force a replay by getting a draw when both teams play each other on Sunday.
United have lost their last two games, and will be hoping to redeem their image. The 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Thursday means United are one leg out of the Europa League, and have the FA Cup as their sole chance of winning a silverware this season.
West Ham are currently fifth on the Premier League table, leading United with two points.
Owen wrote on his Betvictor blog:
"The Hammers are without a win in their last nine trips to Old Trafford but I feel their name will still be in the hat when the draw is made at
the end of the 90 minutes.
United have lost their last two FA Cup home games against PL opposition and were in Europa League action on Thursday at Anfield whilst the Irons had a full week to prepare for Sunday’s Old Trafford clash.
I expect the Irons to get at least a replay."
A draw means United will have to travel to London to face the Hammers.
West Ham have won six out if their last ten Premier League games, and the Hammers will be visiting Old Trafford with some confidence.
