'Aiming for multiple goals against the lowest opponent'

Tottenham Hotspur Captain Son Heung-min (33) will start against Southampton at the bottom of the league, contrary to his initial expectations. It is a golden opportunity to achieve the league '10 goals-10 assists'.

Tottenham will play a 31st round home game of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 against Southampton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 10 p.m. on the 6th (Korea time). The opponent, Southampton, has already been demoted to 20th place in the league. Until the 30th round, the league had only two wins (four draws and 24 losses). He also lost the most points with 71 points.




In response, Tottenham has recently fallen to 16th place in the league, falling into a slump of no wins (1 draw and 3 losses) in four consecutive league games. This is the lowest ranking this season. The gap in points is quite wide, so you don't have to worry about relegation, but the pride of the league's fifth-ranked team last season has already left a big scar.

If he wins the game on this day, he can aim for 13th place. Manchester United, which has played up to the 30th round, is currently 13th (37 points), and Tottenham will win in the 31st round and add three points, and Tottenham will be 13th if Manchester United loses in the 31st round. However, if Manchester United wins or draws, it can be ranked 13th and Tottenham 14th.

Initially, local media expected coach Enze Postecoglou to operate the rotation in this game. First of all, it is a game that does not mean much to win or lose, and Southampton, the opponent, is a team that has been demoted to the bottom of the league. There is no need to operate an elite member because there are already a lot of injuries and their physical strength has fallen at the end of the season.




In particular, Tottenham will play the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals at its home stadium five days later. The Europa League is the last tournament Tottenham is expecting to win this season. Frankfurt, ranked third in the German Bundesliga, is the opponent in the first round of the quarterfinals. Even if Tottenham runs its best power, it is a burdensome opponent whether to win or not.

For this reason, a rotation centered on young players was expected against Southampton.

However, Coach Postecoglou came out with a best lineup that completely disappointed the expectations. Son Heung-min, Dominique Solanke, James Medicine, Brennan Johnson, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Beribal, Jed Spencer, Ben Davies, Christian Romero, Perro Porro and goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will all play. A 4-2-3-1 formation of Son Heung-min and Madison Johnson is likely to unfold behind Solanke's one-top.




Son Heung-min started to boost his sense of goal ahead of the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. It can help to taste some goals against a team with weak defense. In addition, Son Heung-min currently has seven goals and nine assists in the league. The long-awaited '10 goal-10 help' is just around the corner, but he was rarely able to add an attack point. It can also help achieve the record with multiple goals against Southampton.
