Park Joo Ho -- Unlikely for there to be change.
Ji Dong Won -- Ji played well again, with some crosses which should have been finished off and plenty of industry and toughness. Fatigue may start to kick in but this is a big match against Schuster's former club. Ji should start, especially with Koo a question mark, but Schuster might want fresh legs for the weekend.
Koo Ja Cheol -- Koo had a bad game, being a bit reckless, impatient and with clumsy touches. He was taken off at HT due to a cut that needed stitches but wouldn't have been surprised if it had been because of his poor play. He's a question mark for the weekend and we'll have to wait to see how fast it closes up, but perhaps he could use a weekend off to mend and also to get some rest.
Lee Chung Yong -- Played 90. I didn't get to watch but he garnered praise from Pardew calling him one of the few bright spots in the loss, and some positive comments from the press. That said, I still think Pardew sees him as valuable depth rather than starting XI and as long as the attackers are fresh and healthy, LCY will be on the bench.
Ki Sung Yueng -- Kicked out of the squad... how long will he be left off? Britton played well midweek, but can his older legs go twice? And also Cork reportedly played poorly as well so there may be need for Ki on the bench even if Guidolin would prefer to extend his punishment.
Son Heung Min -- Rested midweek so that puts him into a good spot to play but Eriksen and Lamela also played well. We'll see how Pochettino keeps everyone happy and spreads the minutes with Champions League next week as well. I think Son starts this one though with him in form.
Kim Jin Su -- Left off again and nowhere to be seen (except blurry shots in backgrounds on training pics from team lol).
