Chris Sutton says £22m Tottenham player could cause West Ham serious problems this weekend
Today at 11:15 AM
Tottenham face West Ham this weekend in a game that is important for both teams.
Tottenham need to bounce back after their 3-2 loss to Brighton last time out, while Julen Lopetegui needs to build a bit of momentum after a slow start to life in east London.
Indeed, Lopetegui's job has already been called into question at West Ham, but a win against their London rivals would certainly help the new manager settle and build some momentum.
Unfortunately, beating Tottenham is much easier said than done.
Spurs have been inconsistent this season, but they have played well at times, and they head into this game as favourites.
Speaking on the Fantasy 606 Podcast, Chris Sutton has been previewing this weekend's Premier League fixtures, and he says that he'd want Heung-Min Son in his fantasy team for this weekend, claiming that the South Korean could cause West Ham big problems.
Chris Sutton says Heung-Min Son could cause West Ham problems
Sutton shared his verdict on the players who could shine this weekend.
Inevitably, the pundit claimed that Erling Haaland could be among the goals again while he also tipped Ollie Watkins to make a mark against Fulham.
Sutton also tipped Son to star against West Ham questioning whether the Hammers are good enough defensively to deal with the £22m man.
"I would have Haaland, then who have Villa got? Fulham? I would get Watkins in 100%. I would also go for Sonny, it's West Ham, can West Ham defend?" Sutton said.
Is Heung-Min Son fit to face West Ham?
Sutton has tipped Son to cause West Ham problems, but is the South Korean fit to play in this game?
Son has missed recent matches for Spurs through injury, but, luckily, he's going to be back fit for this one.
Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Son will be fit for this game, with Wilson Odobert the only absentee for this match.
Tottenham should be able to field their strongest XI against West Ham, and that should give them a real chance of going on and winning this game.
Paul Merson has tipped Spurs to win this match, and if Son turns up and plays as we all know he can, Tottenham will have a huge chance of coming away with three points here.
