HJH hasnt played in a while so probably bench.
Park Joo Ho has been injured. If he can get fit (I believe that I read wasn't serious), he should start.
Lee Chung Yong has been a bit up and down (and up last week) but hopefully with a full week will be ready to go. He probably will start.
KBK was subbed out at 60' vs Crystal Palace after a lukewarm performance. Most likely bench but could also get the start.
Yun comes back to health. Dickov seemed to hint that Yun should go right back into action and start so I'll guess and say he starts barring setback.
Ki has been one of the most reliable (if not most) Sunderland player over the past few weeks and should start again. Ji has to wait til January or injury it seems.
Koo was an unused sub in his first match back in the squad. With the match well settled, Koo was probably given a bit extra time to get back to fitness. With injuries he might get the start but I'd lean toward bench at this time.
Kiu came on as an early sub in the cup match. Spent more time getting fouled than anything else. Doubt he'll play this weekend at least for A team.
PJS is probably going to be a sub tomorrow as he can't go the full match but perhaps on the weekend... Came on for his first action but couldn't do anything as PSV's defense imploded.
Son had the critical winning goal last weekend vs BVB but had a far worse match in CL action. In both matches he missed 1 on 1 that would have iced the match... hopefully he gets past this bump in the road. He was explosive speed-wise for sure and as a result got involved a bunch but had a hard time handling the more physical tackles and making decisions when tightly marked. Plus he ran out of gas but with only two more matches until winter break and Sam still hurt, I imagine that he'll get the start.
