Tottenham will play the 34th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, at 0:30 p.m. on the 28th (Korea time). All the attention is on Liverpool as well.
Liverpool, which is leading the way, has 79 points (24 wins, 7 draws, 2 losses), and second-place Arsenal (18 wins, 13 draws, 3 losses) has 67 points. The difference in points is 12 points.
One point is enough. Liverpool will confirm its EPL victory this season early, regardless of the remaining results of the fourth round if it draws against Tottenham. It is the first EPL top in five years since the 2019-2020 season. Manchester City's myth also ends in '4 consecutive losses'
Tottenham reached the semifinals in the Europa League, but is on the path of 'black history' in the EPL. The current ranking is 16th (37 points, 11 wins, 4 draws, and 18 losses). If it ends like this, it will be the worst performance in the EPL era, which was launched in 1992. Tottenham's lowest ranking in the EPL was 15th in the 1993–1994 season. It is the first time in 31 years that 'Obsessed Ranking' is newly written.
However, Son Heung-min will miss the match against Liverpool again. He has been out of the team due to a foot injury since his last appearance in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt on the 11th. He has already missed three consecutive games and will be away for the fourth time against Liverpool.

The timing of Son Heung-min's return is of interest. The only hope of reaching the Europa League final is now one step away. Tottenham will play Norway's strongest Bodhi/Glimt in the first leg of the semifinals on May 2 at home. On May 9th, the second leg is waiting on the road.
Coach Enze Postecoglou seems to be preparing Son Heung-min in time for the match, as seen first. There is also a change in his words.
On the 20th, a week ago, Coach Postecoglou said, `Son Heung-min has been suffering from a foot injury for quite some time. Now is also the right time to recover from the problem. I decided that it was better to give me time to rest"At present, it was not a level that was not improving, but rather worsening. Rest is one of the most important treatments for this type of injury. That's why I decided to give him time. Son Heung-min always puts everything into training, so I think he'll have to rest for a few days and see his condition" he said.

As for the possibility of participating in the game, "It is certain that his condition is improving. Training on the lawn for the first time today. He says he's definitely better than before. That's why I think I have to make a decision every day."
Postecoglou also said, `What did Son Heung-min need. When asked if it is therapy or rest", both are a little bit. Since the foot is the part that supports the weight, treatment should be combined with sufficient rest. The most important thing is to let your feet rest for a week, and wait until your feet are settled so you can bounce back," he added.
