Tottenham recently escaped a series of official winless games (three draws and two losses) by beating Southampton with a final score of 5-0. Tottenham, which recorded seven wins, two draws and seven losses, ranked 10th in the league with 23 points.

Son Heung-min will prepare for the quarterfinals of the League Cup against Manchester United on the 20th. Manchester United beat Manchester City on the day, but the prevailing perception is that it is a game worth trying because it is a team that has been performing poorly before that. If Son Heung-min scores an offensive point in the match against Manchester United, it will be a good opportunity to regain confidence and break the slump. The League Cup is an important game for Son Heung-min, as Tottenham can see the possibility of winning this season.
