Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has called on Reds fans to hand Manchester United striker Michael Owen a warm welcome when he features in Carragher's testimonial at the weekend.
The former Liverpool forward will step out in the colours of his former club against an Everton XI, along with some other luminaries from Carragher's era at the club such as Emile Heskey.
Some concerns have been expressed that Owen could be in a for a torrid time from some sections of the Liverpool support due to his now playing for one of the Merseysiders' bitterest rivals.
"I hope it doesn't affect the reception, I think he deserves a great one for what he did for Liverpool," Carragher told his club's official website.
"He was a fantastic player - right up there with the greats for what he did.
"He left in difficult circumstances but when he went to Manchester United his career was on a bit of a downward spiral, he'll admit that himself.
"The chance to go to one of the biggest clubs of the world was difficult to turn down.
"He moved and upset some people but he had to do what was right for himself and his family. His kids were just starting school and he wanted to move back home so that came into it as well.
"I saw the other day Bobby Charlton played in Tommy Smith's testimonial and he wore a Liverpool kit."

GOAL!! Manchester United 2 (Rooney 50) Liverpool 0

MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL: Right place, right time - 1-0 United. Wayne Rooney finds himself unmarked six yards out to coolly finish past Pepe Reina after Jordan Henderson’s attempted headed clearance from a corner arrives straight at the feet of the striker. That should liven the action up on the field good and proper.
