POSTECH Coach is considering 4 changes ahead of the Arsenal match
Tottenham manager Anze Postecoglou, who has to win, is expected to make significant changes to the starting lineup ahead of the home game against Arsenal on the 28th.
Son Heung-min's Tottenham will face off against his rival Arsenal in the 35th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at 10 p.m. on the 28th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With manager Mikel Arteta's Arsenal (77 points) leading Manchester City (76 points), one point ahead of Manchester City (76 points), a match less played, Arsenal's win against Tottenham will gain significant momentum to win the title, but if they lose, they will be able to allow Manchester City to come from behind again. Tottenham, which seeks to rejoin the European Champions League, also desperately needs three points. Aston Villa, which drew with Chelsea on the 28th, has 67 points and is in fourth place with three more matches than Tottenham (60 points). With the remaining matches such as the matches against Chelsea, Liverpool, Burnley and Manchester City in a thorny way, they absolutely need a win against their rivals and three points to keep their hopes of making the top four. It is the biggest match that will determine the success or failure of farming this season for both teams, and a derby and a big match to survive.
English football London predicted that Tottenham manager Postecoglou would make changes to the starting lineup after the 0-4 defeat against Newcastle ahead of the match against Arsenal.
For now, "Leftback" Destiny Udogi is on the operating table after injuring his quadriceps during shooting training at the end of the season, and the remaining left defensive resources are Ben Davis and Emerson Royal, and Postecoglou predicted that "Ben Davis will start."
According to Football London's expectations, "young blood" Pare Sarr is likely to start instead of Rodrigo Bentancur. The Senegalese national team Sarr has been playing in the rotation with Bentancur, but Bentancur has been playing frequently recently and did not look bad in the match against Newcastle, but Sarr's selection is expected to be a young energy to dampen Arsenal's momentum based on his replacement with Sarr in the second half.
Also, considering that the midfield combinations of Sarr, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison showed quite good performance during Arsenal's away match in September, there is a possibility that Postecoglou will restart the combination of the three players.
The media also said it could deploy Pierre-Emile Hoivierre in the midfield instead of Yves Bissouma. He pointed out that the national team's Bissouma, which showed brilliant performances in the early days after the season opened, has lost form since November. Although he started eight games in nine games after visiting the Africa Cup of Nations, he was trusted by Postecoglou, but he noted that Bissouma was replaced early in the recent two games, and Hoivierre, who was substituted as a substitute, performed well in the match against Nottingham.
There is a possibility that Bissouma will play as it is because he is optimized for Postecoglou's tactics and systems, but there may be a change in that Hoivier is a powerful character who can empower the midfield and demonstrate experience and leadership.
There was also the possibility that Timo Werner would also be replaced by Hishalisson. Hishalisson has returned after missing two matches due to knee injury. He cited the fact that if Hishalisson takes the forward line at a time when Son has been sluggish in the recent three matches, the captain will be free from the left flank and he will be able to do what he is best at. However, it seems necessary to make a judgment on the physical condition of Hishalisson, who has lost his sense of play due to injury. If Hishalisson replaces Werner, he could disturb Arsenal's defense, and this would be a benefit to Son. Since scoring his 15th goal in the league against Luton Town (2-1 win) on March 30, he has had no goals in three matches in West Ham (1-1 draw), Nottingham (3-1 win), and Newcastle (0-4 loss) since April. At the match against Newcastle, he replaced Dejan Kulusevski at the 58th minute, recording the shortest playing time this season. Tottenham will revive only when Son recovers.
Football London also predicted that Dejan Kulusevski could play in place of Brennan Johnson, the "offensive divinity" who showed brilliant performances in the second half of the season. Kulusevski has been on the bench in the last three games, but he must be a useful card that Postecoglou can use when choosing to change his offense. 토토사이트
