Some midweek action:
Tuesday:
Ki Sung Yueng and Swansea go to Liverpool for Capital One Cup. 4PM ET on BeIn. Ki was tidy, calm and efficient on Saturday vs Leicester City, particularly on the defensive side of the pitch. Swansea were barely troubled and cruised to a 2-0 win. Its unclear how hard Swansea is gonna push to move on in the cup. Ki may get rested on the bench with a tough run of fixtures ahead.
Ji Dong Won and Dortmund go to St Pauli (2nd division) for DFB Pokal. 3:30 PM ET on ESPN3. Its uncertain if Klopp will want to get BVB working right or if he wants to rest his stars to get them sharp for the weekend and Bayern. I'm leaning towards the latter and Ji may finally get a chance to play in a competitive first team match but being left out is also definitely possible.
Wednesday
Son Heung Min and Leverkusen go to Magdeburg (4th division) for DFB Pokal. 2 PM ET on ESPN3 (!). Son was a creative force even if some of his individual skills were a bit off as a rough Leverkusen was good enough to scrape out a good win vs Schalke. I imagine Son will get rested for this match on the bench.
Kim Jin Su is still out for Hoffenheim hosting FSV Frankfurt (2nd division) at 3:30 PM ET.
