Spurs take on their bitter rivals on Sunday (28.04.24) in a game that is sure to have big implications at the top of the Premier League table and Son is anticipating a "good test" for his team against one of the best sides in world football at present.

He said: "I think it will be a good test for our team.

"Obviously we’re very young and we’re still a little bit inexperienced because we’re building a young team with new experiences.

"Some of the players are in their first season in the Premier League.

"So look, we can test ourselves against one of the biggest teams in Europe and the Premier League, but also in the world.

"I think it’s very important the way we play. Stick to our play, stick to our game. I think it’s a very, very good test.

"As I said, it’s against one of the best teams in the world so it’s perfect (for us). You want to always have good competition and you always want to face the best teams in the world."

Spurs haven't played since a disappointing 4-0 defeat at Newcastle a fortnight ago and Son is desperate to make amends for the poor result.

The South Korean forward said: "It was an unacceptable result and unacceptable performance, as well from me.

"As a group, we’re talking a lot about this game and performance and everybody knows how to step up. They’ve all been playing long enough in the Premier League or for a professional team.

"So, they’re working really hard to bounce back. It will be a really good game to bounce back and obviously the motivation will be even higher than in other games.

"I think we’ve got to just work hard until the game and do our style of play. Then there’s no doubt we can bounce back.

"Obviously it’s a game everyone is looking forward to. It’s a big derby and we know what it means for the team, the club and also for the fans."
