Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) meets the shaking defending champion Liverpool and aims to resume operation of the scoring cannon.
Son Heung-min’s team Tottenham will play Liverpool in the 2020-2021 England Professional Football Premier League (EPL) round 20 home game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England from 5 am (Korean time) on the 29th.
Tottenham, who placed 6th with 33 points, will be a watershed for a leap forward. Opponent Liverpool are 5th place (34 points) with 1 point difference. The winning team in this match goes up to fourth place, beating West Ham (35 points).
Tottenham, who once led the league, had a draw last month for a while, but in recent four games in the league, he won 2 wins and 2 draws, raising the mood.
Sheffield defeated Sheffield 3-1 in the 19th EPL on the 17th, and in the fourth round of the English Football Association (FA) Cup on the 26th (final of 32), they defeated the second division team Wickham 4-1 in an upward mode.
On the other hand, Liverpool are on a downtrend with 5 games in the league (3 draws, 2 losses).
In particular, after being caught 0-1 by Burnley in the league game on the 22nd, he fell into crisis by losing to Manchester United 2-3 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on the 25th.
It is expected that both the 1st and 2nd place in the EPL score will be sorted out in this game, so both teams are in desperate need of key goalkeepers. It is also an opportunity for Son Heung-min to ignite the competition for the scorer.
As of the 28th, Liverpool’s Muhammad Salah topped the EPL scoring ranking with 13 goals, and Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s fellow Harry Kane are closely following Salah with 12 goals.
Son Heung-min, who scored 12 league goals this season and 16 goals in all competitions, has remained silent after the semi-final of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Brentford on the 6th of this month.
In order to arrange physical fitness, there is also an influence that the participation time is often adjusted in cup competitions, but it is a disappointment compared to the scary momentum at the beginning of the season. In the match against Sheffield and Wickham, it is positive that they keep accumulating offensive points by writing help one by one.
After a multi-goal in the 14th round against Crystal Palace, Salach, who has been scoreless in his fifth game in the league, meets Tottenham while scoring multiple goals despite losing in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Manchester United.
The performance of Kane, who was tied for second in scoring with three consecutive goals in the recent league game while Heung-min Son and Salach stagnated, also attracts attention.
In the 13th round of the two teams on the 17th of last month, Salach and Son Heung-min exchanged one goal at a time and Liverpool won 2-1 thanks to the final goal of Roberto Firminu in the second half of the 45th minute.
