Lee Chung Yong -- Chungy also survived transfer window which I assume was his preference given that he wasn't in midweek squad. I wasn't sold on a move to a championship and Swansea sounded like agent talk. He'll have to be patient for chances though he could make the squad with Sako and Schlupp out with injury.
Park Joo Ho -- Out of CL squad and out of squad barring more injuries.
Son Heung Min -- I was prepared for the worst as he was subbed off, but I don't think he was poor. He had trouble making chances for himself and was on the wrong page once or twice, but he was also putting together some great passes, particularly creating the best chance of the game in Wanyama's miss. We'll see if Pochettino goes with Son who was great vs Middlesbrough last time around or goes with the lineup that had produced well before Sunderland. I'm leaning to latter with Son on the bench but only slightly.
Kwon Chang Hoon -- Paperwork sorted but his fitness I guess isn't up to par so is out this weekend. Disappointing given that he should have been preparing better on his own.
Ki Sung Yueng -- A lackluster sub appearance as he looked slow and sloppy. Since results are going their way, Ki will most likely be on the bench.
Ji Dong Won -- We'll see what position he's at but I think he will start. With Altintop scoring, probably remain out wide.
Koo Ja Cheol -- Same goes with Koo and with Leitner added to the mix, some uncertainty on how the various midfield roles setup.
