Will Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham Futspur), who started scorer gun operation in the 2020-2021 season, continue his momentum throughout the week?
Son Heung-min’s team Tottenham will face Leighton Orient, a League 2 (fourth division) team, in the third round of the 2020-2021 Carabao Cup (League Cup) to be held on Brisbane Road in Leighton, London, England on the 23rd at 2am (Korean time).
This is the official match again two days after playing the second round of the Premier League (EPL) against Southampton, who won 5-2 thanks to the historic 4 goals of Son Heung-min.
Tottenham, who lost 1-0 to Everton in the EPL first round and beat Lokomotif Plovdiv (Bulgaria) 2-1 in the second qualifying expedition of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League, he was in the early stages with a complete victory over Southampton. It raised the lost atmosphere.
Son Heung-min, who was silent in the previous two matches, played a leading role in this match by scoring four goals due to the lack of the EPL’s first personal hat-trick.
In the first edition of the League Cup that follows, it is a relatively easy match to face the 4th division team. For Tottenham, the goal is to take as little power as possible and get the results.
Two days after this match, the third away qualifying match between Shukendiya (Macedonia) and the Europa League followed, and three days later, Newcastle and the EPL home match, so the physical disposition of the players it is more urgent.
Son Heung-min, who played a full-time match against Southampton, is likely to take a breather as well.
Tottenham manager José Mourinho announced a change by revealing that Delhi Ali, whose transfer rumors are flowing after being removed from the two-game list recently, will play in the match against Leighton.

However, if the team gets stuck in the fourth division or has problems, it can affect the future schedule, and the victory is essential even to shake off the humiliation of early withdrawals last season.
Last season, Tottenham were eliminated in the third round of their first League Cup game after drawing 0-0 at Colchester in the fourth division, following a shocking loss on penalties.
Before and after this game, Tottenham continued to suffer in the EPL and the UEFA Champions League. Ultimately, it led to the difficulties of Mauricio Pochettino.
Coach Mourinho has won the League Cup three times with Chelsea and once with Manchester United.
