Korea U17 -- They move into the knockouts and face a Belgium side who haven't impressed so far. But anything can happen in these knockout matches and Korea has struggled to put the ball in the goal as well. But being rested should help them as the match wears on.
Hong Jeong Ho -- I imagine he will get a look in an attempt to fix their defensive woes vs Dortmund though he might be saved for Bundesliga action.
Ji Dong Won -- I expect him to start... the question will be at what position. There are so many holes in the Augsburg attack, and I'd prefer him up top, but I think we'll see him out wide.
Koo Ja Cheol -- I think he should rest after lots of minutes but Weinzierl may be looking to get this going at the cup with a stronger lineup. We'll see but he'll be in the squad either way.
Ryu Seung Woo -- Perhaps we will have a RSW sighting midweek but it wouldn't surprise me not to see him at all. Not sure how strong a squad Leverkusen will bring, but with lots of competitions going on, one could hope for a rotated side.
Park Joo Ho -- I think he will start this one though he could be on the bench.
Lee Chung Yong -- Given quality of opposition and doing well in the table, does Pardew risk a stronger side in pursuit of the cup? There have also been two straight losses so momentum building with a victory may be another factor. I think all those factors may mean that Lee Chung Yong misses out or maybe only makes the bench vs what would be a normal opportunity to play in cup.
