Kwon Chang Hoon-- Last chance with a six pointer with the team above them. We will see if best effort includes KCH.
Ki Sung Yueng-- Diame is back so it will be interesting how Rafa sets up his team, with pros and cons to each choice. My gut is that Ki has done the best vs Shelvey/Diame so he should start but perhaps he goes for a more offensive weapon in Shelvey with Ki on the bench.
Son Heung Min-- Son created plenty of danger as he had a lot of room to operate but he couldn't quite get his chances on target until it counted. When Kane went off injured, Tottenham looked a bit disheveled but Eriksen found Son who barely beat offside trap and had a touch so bad he almost lost the ball out of bounds, but recovered and blasted a left footed shot past GK. With Kane out for rest of season, Son will have to step up and with Alli possibly out this weekend with broken hand, Son will have to start and try to focus with one eye on CL next week. Fortunately, he looked pretty good midweek and the goal hopefully fires him up for a critical week.
Suk Hyun Jun-- He's been third sub on so hopefully he continues to at least warm bench, and maybe get some more minutes.
Ji Dong Won-- New manager so who knows which XI Schmidt goes with but I'd think Ji would start.
Koo Ja Cheol-- Same as Ji, and though not playing well, I don't think Augsburg has a ton of choices for his role.
Lee Kang In-- As I write this, he's currently on the bench which is a step up but still far from playing.
