The home team Ipswich formed a 4-2-3-1 formation centered on Liam Delap. Major resources such as Jack Clark, Omari Hutchinson, Kevin Phillips, Dara Oshay and Ben Godfrey participated as they were.
Tottenham, which is shadowed by no spectators as it was eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, has to continue the atmosphere of rebounding in the league. It has won two consecutive games, catching both Brentford and Manchester United. The ranking, which was worried about falling to 16th place, has already risen to 12th place. If they catch Ipswich, Tottenham will now be able to look at entering the top 10.

Tottenham also needs a revenge blood battle, which was beaten by Ipswich in the first half of the year. In a home game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November last year, Tottenham presented its first victory with a 1-2 defeat to Ipswich, which had no win in the league. Since then, Tottenham's sense of crisis has grown, and it has become a reality.
From Son Heung-min's point of view, good performance is also needed to control external noise. Son has been scoreless for six games after scoring multiple goals in an away trip to Hoffenheim in late January. The only point of attack was one assist recorded in the away trip to Brentford. It is time to prove with his performance that Son Heung-min's influence in the game is not low.
Questions about leadership need to be resolved. Recently, several experts have doubts about Son's leadership. In particular, Tottenham senior Jamie O'Hara is strongly criticizing it. O'Hara recently said there was no leadership. I think the lack of leadership comes from directors and captains. I hate to say this, but Son Heung-min is no longer the right captain for Tottenham."
He went on to say that "Son Heung-min is a fantastic player and he has been amazingly dedicated at Tottenham. But when it comes to bringing the team together at a difficult time, Son Heung-min is not one to go one step further. The captain should be someone who can lead on the front line, someone who can get the team out of the woods. Son Heung-min is not that type of captain. It's time to take Son's captaincy and hand it over to someone else," he said, strongly criticizing Son's armband to another player.
Not only O'Hara but also various media outlets have questioned Son's leadership. It is a noise that will disappear if Son Heung-min shows his skills on the field. Son Heung-min's influence is expected to be more important than ever in the match against Ipswich.
