All eyes are on Son Heung-min again as he prepares to break a record.
Tottenham Hotspur will kick off the 36th round of the 2023-24 Premier League season at Anfield on Merseyside, England, at 0:30 a.m. ET on Saturday. Tottenham is in fifth place with 60 points (18 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses).
Spurs are tied for fourth place with Aston Villa. They are seven points behind Villa. Spurs have to hope that Villa slips even if they play one more game. Before that happens, they need to win all four of their remaining games. Tottenham’s mood is at its worst. They’ve lost three of their last six crucial games. They were thrashed 0-4 by Newcastle United and lost 2-3 in the North London derby to Arsenal.
The 0-2 loss to Chelsea was a shocking third straight defeat. They have a number of injuries, including Destiny Udoji, Ben Davies and Timo Werner. They need to turn the tide against Liverpool. After being knocked out of the UEFA Europa League (UEL), Liverpool have continued to struggle in the Premier League and have fallen out of contention for the title. Tottenham’s loss to Chelsea helped the Reds secure a top-four finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
The expected lineup against Liverpool is of interest. Son Heung-min will once again start on the wing. In the last match against Chelsea, Son was a bit of a disappointment as he only managed 0 shots on target after returning to the starting lineup. “Son started on the left but didn’t have much of an impact in the 90 minutes,” said Football London. He was quiet for 45 minutes and improved at the start of the second half, but lacked impact.”
Nevertheless, Enze Postecoglou will keep Son on the left again 사설토토 against Liverpool. “Against Chelsea, Heung-min did nothing,” said 90min in the UK. If Tottenham are to gain momentum at the end of the season, they will need him to deliver.”
Spurs Web, which follows Tottenham news, believes Son Heung-min and Hicharisson will be retained and Brennan Johnson will start at right-back instead of Dejan Kulicepski. James Maddison has also been mentioned as a possibility. “Johnson is likely to come in for Kuluczewski, who struggled against Chelsea, while Maddison, who started on the bench against Chelsea, is likely to start,” according to the Evening Standard.
With minor changes expected, it will be interesting to see if Son Heung-min’s Tottenham can hold off Liverpool. If Son plays, it will be his 300th Premier League appearance. It will be interesting to see if he smiles in victory despite the record.
