Tottenham clashes with West Ham on the 8th and Newcastle on the 11th Wolverhampton plays against Nottingham on the 10th.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who are at the top of the scoring leaderboard in the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL), are on the hunt for consecutive goals.
Looking at the scoring rankings for the EPL 2023-2024 season as of the 7th, Son Heung-min is ranked 3rd with 9 goals, and Hwang Hee-chan is tied for 4th with 8 goals.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City), who scored 14 goals, is in the lead, and Muhammad Salah (Liverpool), with 10 goals, is currently in second place. Korean players are competing for the top scoring rankings right behind world-class strikers.
While Haaland and Salah's league scoring has slowed down recently, Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, who each scored a goal in the previous game, are planning to continue their momentum this weekend.
Son Heung-min's Tottenham is preparing for the EPL 15th round home game against West Ham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London starting at 5:15 a.m. on the 8th (Korean time).At 1:30 a.m. on the 11th, round 16 will be played against Newcastle at home as well.
In the 14th round against Manchester City on the 4th, a 3-3 draw was achieved thanks to the performance of Son Heung-min, who scored 1 goal and 1 assist, and Tottenham, ranked 5th (27 points), escaped from 3 consecutive league losses and is trying to win despite being eliminated.
West Ham, currently in 9th place (21 points), is undefeated in 5 official games (4 wins, 1 draw), including the last 3 league games (2 wins, 1 draw) and the UEFA Europa League match, and is in 7th place. Newcastle (with 26 points) is also on a two-game winning streak in the league, so a formidable challenge awaits Tottenham.
Son Heung-min, who scored an own goal less than 3 minutes after scoring the opening goal in the 6th minute of the first half against Manchester City, but added an assist in the second half and laid the foundation for escaping consecutive losses, is aiming for his 10th league goal this season.
Now, with one more goal, Son Heung-min will have surpassed double-digit EPL scoring for eight consecutive seasons since the 2016-2017 season.
Wolverhampton, ranked 13th (18 points), who played 15 rounds against Burnley on the 6th, will invite Nottingham, ranked 16th (13 points), to Molineux Stadium on the 10th and aim for consecutive wins.
Hwang Hee-chan scored the first goal in the 42nd minute of the first half against Burnley, leading the team to a 1-0 victory and escaping their second consecutive league loss.It was also a meaningful goal for Hwang Hee-chan, achieving double-digit attack points (8 goals, 2 assists) in a season for the first time since entering the EPL in 2021.
In particular, Hwang Hee-chan, who is known to be discussing a contract renewal with Wolverhampton, is showing a strong side at home, scoring goals in 6 of the 7 league home games this season (6 goals). This time, he is also approaching the milestone of his 10th league goal along with the home game goal. It remains to be seen whether this can be done.
In addition, Bayern Munich, second in the German Bundesliga (32 points), where defender Kim Min-jae plays, is scheduled to play an away game against Frankfurt in the 14th round at 11:30 pm on the 9th.
Kim Min-jae, who played most full-time games between his own team and the national team, raising concerns about 'overwork', missed the UEFA Champions League home game against Copenhagen (Denmark) at the end of last month due to a hip contusion, and was unable to play in the 13th round of the league against Union Berlin on the 2nd. was postponed due to heavy snow, so I was able to rest more.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the leader in French Ligue 1 (33 points), where Lee Kang-in plays, prepares for the 15th round home game against Nantes at 5 a.m. on the 10th. 슬롯
