Tottenham , who are ranked 4th and 7th in scoring and are showing signs of rising to 4th place in both teams' attack key league, will clash with Wolverhampton at home tonight.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who returned to their teams after the Asian Cup, will face off.
Tottenham and Wolverhampton will play the 25th round match of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at midnight on the 18th. In this season's EPL, Son Heung-min is ranked 4th in scoring with 12 goals (6 assists), and Hwang Hee-chan is tied for 7th with 10 goals. As they play key roles in the team's attack, the team's team desperately needs the performance of the two, who have been absent for a long time.
Son Heung-min appeared as a substitute against Brighton on the 11th, his first game back after the Asian Cup, and assisted Brennan Johnson's winning goal just before the end of the game. Tottenham won 2-1, and Son Heung-min recorded an attack point (2 goals, 2 assists) in 4 consecutive league games. Hwang Hee-chan was omitted from the roster for the game against Brentford on the same day.
If Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan play side by side, it will be their second meeting this season. They had their first confrontation on November 11 last year, and both played full time, but failed to record any attack points. At that time, Wolverhampton defeated Tottenham 2-1.
Looking at recent momentum, Tottenham is good. Wolverhampton recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses in 4 league games played without Hwang Hee-chan. There is no change in the ranking, ranking 11th in the league (32 points), but the drive to advance to the top is less than before. Tottenham, who recorded 1 win and 2 draws in 3 games without Son Heung-min, added 3 points in the captain's return game, raising the ranking from 5th to 4th (47 points).
Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) will also play a visiting match against Nantes in the 22nd round of French Ligue 1 at 5 a.m. on the 18th. Lee Kang-in missed the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Real Sociedad (Spain) on the 15th. 토토
