Weekend Preview Sept 15th

Usual disclaimer on international break which makes previews always tricky without knowing what happened in training.

Son Heung Min-- No Alli and Lamela puts a strain on the squad especially as Son played so many minutes in past month. I know he will want to start but Poch has to be thinking about bigger picture as CL looms next week. We will see but obviously in squad.


Ji Dong Won-- Ji will probably be on bench being gone for break but will be an option during game with no Finnbogason


Koo Ja Cheol-- We will see if his retirement from international duty pays off with a start: I imagine so.


Ki Sung Yueng-- It’s unclear at this point if Shelvey and Diame are fit, but Ki also logged a lot of minutes over international break. I’d expect normally for Ki to be benched/rested as he hardly looked fit before going but there may be a lack of alternatives.


Suk Hyun Jun-- Suk started a friendly over international break so we will see if that’s enough to start this weekend but certainly in squad at least.
