It is noteworthy whether Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), 11th in the 2022 Ballon d’Or, will start scoring in front of 20th-placed Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United).
English professional football Tottenham Hotspur will play an away match once morest Manchester United in the 12th round of the 2022-23 Premier League (EPL) season at Old Trafford, Manchester, England on the 20th at 4:15 am (Korean time).
Manchester United have been on a three-game winning streak once morest Tottenham Hotspur in recent years, despite the fact that their form has declined in recent years and they have not been able to qualify for the Champions League, the top level competition for European clubs, and have been pushed to the Europa League. However, Tottenham also beat Brighton and Everton to start their winning streak once more with a two-game winning streak. Currently 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, they have 23 points with Manchester City, but if Tottenham, who are in third place behind in goal difference, win over Manchester United, they will be in second place until Manchester City finish their match once morest Brighton on the 22nd. can Tottenham also have fond memories of beating Manchester United, one sent off at Old Trafford two years ago, in a 6-1 win. Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane contributed two goals and one assist each.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Dejan Klushevski, who has recovered from injury, is still uncertain as to whether Richalisson will leave due to an injury. Therefore, it is highly likely that Son Heung-min and Kane’s two-top system will be operated, but some predicted that there is a possibility that manager Antonio Conte will raise wingback Ivan Perisic, who played as a striker in the past, to operate a three-top system.
Heung-Min Son, who made a new history in Asian football by placing 11th in the male player category at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony on the 18th, has scored 3 goals in the EPL and 2 goals in the UCL when scoring goals this season. Kane has scored nine goals in five consecutive games and is currently second in the Premier League in scoring.
In fact, the match once morest Christian Eriksen (Man United), who formed the DESK line with Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Kane at Tottenham until the middle of the 2019-20 season, was expected. Eriksen, who collapsed on the ground due to a heart problem in the Euro 2020 game in June last year, returned to the Premier League in a Brantford jersey earlier this year, and clashed with his former teammates in April, but failed to score 0-0. However, Eriksen missed out once morest Newcastle last weekend due to health problems. He joined the team training on the 18th, but it is unknown whether he will play once morest Tottenham. The British local media is predicting the absence.
Ronaldo, who recorded a hat-trick in the match once morest Tottenham Hotspur in March, appears frequently as a substitute in the new season. Ronaldo ranked 20th at the 2022 Ballon d’Or, the lowest ranking ever. It is one step higher than Tottenham’s Kane (21st), but lower than his fellow Real Madrid teammate Casemiro (tied 17th) who joined Manchester United in the new season.
