[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Stephen Verbine is expected to fill the void of Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur).
Tottenham will play Aston Villa in Round 18 of the 2020/21 English Premier League (EPL) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 22nd at 4:30 am (Korean time).
Above all, it’s a big fight for Tottenham. Currently, Tottenham (45 points) is in 8th place. To win a ticket for the UEFA Champions League, you have to beat Aston Villa. Moreover, it is necessary to find the momentum of the downturn, such as the defeat against Arsenal and the elimination of the UEFA Europa League.
Ace Son Heung-min is expected to fall out of the lineup in a situation where a rebound is needed. Son Heung-min injured a hamstring in Arsenal and North London Derby on the 15th. Due to this, he was removed from the Dynamo Zagreb expedition on the 19th, and Lucas Moura replaced Son Heung-min.
Who will be responsible for the left attack in this Aston Villa match? British media Football London has put forward an expected lineup ahead of the game.
Media reporter Alasdare Gold believed that Tottenham would operate the 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane in the forefront, Verbine, Maura, and Gareth Bale in the second line. Defensive midfielders are paired with Tangwi Ndombele and Pierre Emile Hoivier. The defenders will be built by Sergio Regilon, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Zapet Tanganga, and the goal will be defended by Hugo Joris.
Reporter Rob Guest’s opinion is also similar. Only one digit was different. It was predicted that Giovanni Lo Selso would be the starter instead of Ndombele.
Football statistics media, Whoscored, had a different opinion. It is expected that Moura and Veil will appear on both sides of the second line, and Delhi Ali will stand at the apex. And instead of Tangganga, Matt Doherty was expected to be in charge of the right-hand side.
A fierce economy is expected. Tottenham has to put all his power into the league to win fourth place. Tottenham is currently six points in fourth place Chelsea (51 points).
Aston Villa also needs a rebound. The last three games draw (2 draws, 1 loss) and have to break the loop. If you catch Tottenham, you can close the gap with Tottenham by one point.
However, the situation at Aston Villa is also bad. Ace Jack Greelish, who scored 6 goals and 10 assists this season, is expected to be missed due to injuries.
