4. Son Heung-Min is still on fire
Unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, you know that Son Heung-Min is in the midst of an amazing run of form. He’s a good bet to continue his blistering play in his club’s biggest match of the season.
Son will likely find himself matched up against Bacary Sagna for much of the match. Suffice it to say, I like the Korean’s chances to find success. The French right back has been decent, but not spectacular on the young season. He’ll need to be at his best to keep up with Son’s clever movement.
The key for Son will be to remember that he’s a part of a pretty talented attacking ensemble. He doesn’t need to try to take Manchester City’s defense on single-handedly. Trusting his teammates could be the easiest way to get his club the three points they need.
Manchester City will focus a ton of defensive energy on Son Heung-Min Sunday, but it won’t be enough. He’s playing at a too high of a level right now for the City back line to bring him back down to Earth.
