Premier League 18/19; Liverpool vs Tottenham: 3 crucial factors to watch out for

#2 Harry Kane’s good form and Son’s fall from grace:

In an identical scenario, Tottenham is also coping with the mixed fortune of their forward line. Harry Kane has been regularly been scoring goals since his return from injury, but Son-Heung-Min has been struggling to find form for the past one month or so.

Kane scored against Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, apart from scoring for England in both of their qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Montenegro. He has now scored 24 goals in 36 matches for Tottenham this season and will look to add to that tally against Liverpool. It is very difficult to contain him, as he is fast, strong and quick to react.

However, Son, who was absolutely superb in the first half of the season, is struggling to score since his return from doing national duty in the AFC Asian Cup held in UAE. He has not scored any goal in the last five games for club and his poor form has been one of the biggest reasons behind; Tottenham’s poor run in the Premier League in the last month. The Korean would hope to put his struggles behind him at Anfield.
