The absence of Heung-min Son won’t be a problem for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur will face Crystal Palace in the 27th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on March 3 at 0:00 a.m. ET. Spurs are in fifth place with 14 wins, five draws, and six losses (47 points), while Palace is in 13th place with seven wins, seven draws, and 12 losses (28 points).
This is Tottenham’s first game in two weeks. They were originally scheduled to travel to Chelsea on March 24, but the game was postponed due to Chelsea’s EFL Cup final. Tottenham’s players, including Son Heung-min, will come into the game fresh and rested.
There’s still some time to go before the game, but there’s already a lot of interest in Spurs’ starting lineup. With a five-point gap to fourth-place Aston Villa (52 points), this is a must-win game for Spurs.
However, there have been claims that he will be absent. “The Frenchman was nowhere to be seen in Tottenham’s training videos and photos released this week,” Football London reported on Monday. According to the outlet, the player was only seen laughing with teammate Pape Sarr indoors, but was nowhere to be seen in actual training footage.
His absence is devastating for the Frenchman, who has been in hot form of late. The Frenchman joined Tottenham last season after leaving Everton. There were high hopes for the PL’s top striker after his performances at Everton, but he struggled last season with just one goal and four assists.
The start of this season was no different. He scored his first goal in the fifth round of the league and has been quiet since. However, that changed in an instant for Hicharisson. Starting with a multi-goal performance against Newcastle United last December, he has scored nine goals in eight games. He already has 10 goals and three assists in the league this season, and is on course to surpass his career-high (13).
Despite the potential absence of Dele Alli, Tottenham have a ‘SON top’ option. The media outlet revealed the ‘Tottenham’s starting lineup against Palace’ as predicted by their reporters on the 1st. Both reporters predicted that Son Heung-min would start up front.
Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold predicted Son up front. Rob Guest also went with the ‘SON top’ prediction, saying, “If Heung-Min Son is not fit, he will play up front.”
The ‘SON Top’ has been on fire this season. Playing up front since the start of the season, Son has been in scorching form. Starting with a hat-trick against Burnley in the 토토사이트 fourth round of the league, he scored 12 goals before being called up to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup Qatar 2023 squad. His link-up with James Maddison was excellent, and his sprinting runs into the box were one of his best attributes.
Since returning from the Asian Cup, Son has continued to perform well. He came on as a substitute against Brighton and Hove Albion on March 10 and assisted Brennan Johnson’s theatrical goal. He was quiet against Wolverhampton Wanderers afterward, but it’s clear that the ‘SON Top’ has been a threat this season.
Son Heung-min was strong against Palace. Son’s PL debut goal came against Palace. On September 20, 2015, in the sixth round of the PL, he started and scored his debut goal and the winning goal. The rest is history.
He also scored his first PL goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is now considered the best stadium in England. Against Palace. It was on April 3, 2019, in the 32nd round of the PL. In 16 games against Palace, Heung-min scored eight goals and two assists, making him the “Palace killer”. Tottenham have also won 13, drawn two and lost one of his 16 games.
There have been claims that he will miss out, but Spurs aren’t worried. They have Son Heung-min.
