British sports media 'The Athletic' predicted the best 11 of Tottenham and Crystal Palace's 9th round Premier League showdown on the 26th (Korea time).
Tottenham will play away to Crystal Palace in the ninth round of the Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at Selhurst Park in London, England, at 11 p.m. on the 27th.
The Athletic did not place Son Heung-min on the Tottenham's expected starting list. The reason is injury. Other than Son Heung-min, there is no big change.
With Dominic Solanke at the center, Wilson O'Dober and Brennan Johnson were placed on the left and right wingers. It is notable that Odobert, who returned from injury, entered Son Heung-min's position. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou has given Timo Werner a chance as a substitute for Son Heung-min, but the result has not been good.
The midfielders will be James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Ives Bissouma in the form of an inverted triangle. There are two attacking midfielders.
Madison and Kulusevski have recently had a lot of noise due to overlapping roles. In the second half of the last West Ham match, Madison was left out and Papesar entered, which is said to have stabilized the midfield much more.
The back four line has been a fixed member since last season. Destiny Udoghi and Pedro Porro will play left and right wingbacks, while Mickey Pantherpen and Christian Romero will defend the center. The goalkeeper is Guglielmo Vicario.
Other than Odover, 17-year-old prospect Mikey Moore is also a strong candidate to replace Son Heung-min.
British media 'Express' reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that coach Enze Postecoglou hinted at Son Heung-min's replacement in the match against Crystal Palace. Tottenham vice-captain James Maddison joked at Moore, saying, `I thought it was Neymar.'

Moore is one of Tottenham's top 10 resources in preparation for the post Son Heung-min . He is a former Tottenham youth raised by Tottenham. Tottenham recruited Wilson O'Dober and Yang Min-hyuk in the transfer market last summer when they raised Moore to the first team. O'Dober didn't have much time to play due to an injury early in the season. Yang Min-hyuk will join in January next year. Naturally, Moore stood out.
However, Postecoglou is careful to release Moore to the adult stage with confidence because he is still young.
Postecoglou said "Moore is ready to start any game, but I think you have to be really careful when you put it into the first team game, especially for young players."
Postecoglou said "Moore didn't play full time last year either. There were also injuries. I played for the under-18 team and skipped the under-21 team as well. Moore is still physically growing. You have to take that into consideration"I carefully predicted.
Still, Postecoglou is confident that he is ready to start the Premier League game. We want to grow Moore in the right way and provide him with a platform to continue to develop. Whatever we have asked of Moore so far, he has had a huge impact and plans to continue to do so.'

Son Heung-min seems to have a long-lasting hamstring injury. Postecoglou "Sonny is still out of form. It is not 100 per cent. He will not train today and is unlikely to play at the weekend. After that, we have to wait and see what it will be like."
