Little-used striker Owen bagged a brace in United's 3-0 League Cup third round win at Leeds United on Tuesday and with Javier Hernandez likely to miss the tricky trip to Stoke City, the leaders may turn to the former England forward.
Hernandez was injured after a crunching tackle by Ashley Cole in last weekend's 3-1 victory over Chelsea which left champions United as the only Premier League team with a 100 percent record after five matches.
"It's nice to prove to yourself and everyone that you can still contribute, still play well. We're coming into a good part of the season now, with the games coming thick and fast so hopefully the games will be shared round a bit," the 31-year-old told Sky.
He was surprisingly thrown a lifeline by rivals City and scored a stunning goal on his debut in an injury-free 57 minutes in Wednesday's 2-0 home win over League Cup holders Birmingham City.
With forward Andy Carroll struggling for form, the more mobile Bellamy could be an option for Kenny Dalglish at home to fading Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday as eighth-placed Liverpool look to recover for last weekend's dreadful performance in a 4-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
"It was fantastic for everyone connected with the football club to see him back. I'm more pleased for Steven than anyone else. He's worked very hard to get here," Dalglish said.
"We don't know when Steven will be at full pelt but it certainly makes our squad a lot stronger."
