In the previous round, Tottenham beat Newcastle (4-1) and now beat Nottingham Forest (2-0), thanks to that, they have closed in on Man City with 33 points and are 6 points ahead of MU.

Tottenham still have a busy schedule ahead, coach Ange Postecoglou is taking advantage of Son Heung-min's remaining time to help Tottenham continue to achieve the best results for the club.

"We are still studying the issue of Son Heung-min leaving the club to return to the Korean national team. I know the importance of the Asian Cup. Similarly, some of our other key players will also participate in the African Cup of Nations. There will be many players leaving the team, and we will have difficulty with the remaining squad being too thin, difficult to rotate players. The way we play is also physically and mentally demanding," coach Ange Postecoglou shared.

After the win over Nottingham Forest, Tottenham will enter a busy schedule during the Christmas and New Year holidays, including matches against Everton (December 23), Brighton (December 29) and Bournemouth (December 31). Next is the FA Cup third round match against Burnley on January 6. Son Heung-min is expected to leave Tottenham to go to Abu Dhabi (UAE) to join the Korean national team right after the match against Bournemouth.

Besides Son Heung-min, two other Tottenham stars will also be absent for at least a month to attend the Africa Cup of Nations: Bissouma (Mali team) and Pape Matar Sarr (Senegal team).
