Ji Dong Won -- Schuster complimented on his form, his practicing and his good condition playing full 90 min every match.  With Moravek out as well this week, Ji will start, most likely on the left with Altintop playing in the hole.


Koo Ja Cheol -- Unlike Ji, his form has been less good but with Bobadilla out, nobody else can man the right wing so he'll start there.


Lee Chung Yong -- With Zaha coming back into the picture, LCYs minutes look even thinner than before.  He'll have to be patient for minutes right now.


Ki Sung Yueng -- Cork has been playing poorly but on the other hand, Ki's not had the best relationship with Guidolin. My gut says that the more defensively minded Cork will start but Ki could as well in an important match for Guidolin's tenure at Swansea.  He should be on the bench if not with a high chance of coming on.


Kim Jin Su -- I doubt he'll make the squad.


Park Joo Ho -- Ditto.


Son Heung Min -- And finally, Son faces the biggest test of his blazing hot form, taking on a top tier Man City team.  Son's had decent chances against Pep's sides as his pace can get behind a pushed up back line.  And certainly he's never been on such fine form before, again winning MOTM after scoring the winner midweek.  The fatigue started to show a bit as the precision was lacking at times particularly near goal but still was one of the most dangerous players for Tottenham and still an incredible run of immense quality for Son.
