Tottenham Hotspur striker Son Heung-min (29) has Arsenal’s second “North London Derby” on an important road. It is a game that cannot be compromised either to Son Heung-min, who has not scored in the last five games in a row, or to Tottenham who wants to climb higher.
Tottenham will play an away game against Arsenal in Round 28 of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-21 season at the Emirates Stadium in London, England at 1:30 a.m. on the 15th.
The recent trend of Tottenham is very good.
On the 12th, Spurs won 5 consecutive wins in the first leg of the European Football Federation Europa League match against Dynamo Zagreb (Croatia).
EPL is also marching for three consecutive wins.
Tottenham, who once fell to 10th place, climbed to 7th place (45 points). It is also a chase with Chelsea (51 points), which is given the right to participate in the European Football Federation Champions League.
Tottenham, who wants to continue its uptrend, is trying to break the 10th place Arsenal (38 points) and set a foothold for a leap to the top.
In the first confrontation held in December last year, Tottenham, who scored one goal and one help by Son Heung-min, beat Arsenal 2-0. If he wins this expedition, the likelihood of Tottenham’s entry into the’Top 4’will also increase.
Tottenham’s attacks by Harry Kane and Gareth Bale have survived, but Son Heung-min has been unable to score goals in the last five games, and goal silence is getting longer.
This season, Son Heung-min has scored 18 goals and 16 assists, including the EPL. 13 goals and 9 assists in the league. In particular, he has helped 3 in 4 games at EPL recently, but goals are rarely scattered.
Son Heung-min has been scoring for nearly a month since the first leg of the Europa League round of 32 against Wolfsberg (Austria) on the 19th of last month.
Son Heung-min is currently tied for fourth in EPL scoring after Mohamed Salah (17 goals, Liverpool), Bruno Fernandez (16 goals, Manchester United) and Kane (16 goals).
The outlook is not bad. Son Heung-min recently showed strength against Arsenal. Last season, he scored the 10th league goal in the North London Derby, and he flew in the first match this season with one goal and one help.
Above all, if Son Heung-min scores one more goal, he will tie up with the most goals (14 goals) in one EPL season in the 2016-17 season.
Son Heung-min’s starting appearance in an important match against Arsenal is certain. He started against Zagreb and was replaced by Lucas Moura in the 19th minute of the second half, giving him time to save physically.
Fans are attracting attention as to what kind of result the’triangle squadron’ of Kane, Bale and Son Heung-min, who boast sharp attack power in the recent league, can lead to Arsenal against Arsenal.
