Yun Il Lok-- Looks like he’s still battling to be coming on as a sub than anything else.
Choi Kyoung Rok-- Should start.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- Came on as sub with thirty to go and definitely showed some overeagerness to impress. When the game came to him he looked quick and dangerous but he made too many bad decisions. Overall showed that he can bring something different but didn’t grab the chance by the horns. Should be on the bench.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- Out injured.
Hwang Hee Chan-- Was disappointed to not come off the bench. Leipzig’s offense is struggling which makes it more frustrating. Will be on bench and still feels far from any major role but with Poulsen out, maybe a glimmer of a chance.
Ji Dong Won-- With Mateta sold, odds of warming bench increase vs being out of squad altogether.
Hwang Ui Jo-- Will be looking to keep his form improving with a likely start.
Paik Seung Ho-- Not sure why he didn’t play last time but given result pretty decent chance of starting.
Lee Jae Sung-- Should start.
Lee Kang In-- I only saw first half. It was a frustrating role to watch where he plays as a second forward without the ball and as a CM in attack which keeps him far from the meat of the action. When he did get touches they were pretty good. Too bad I wasn't surprised to read that he was pulled after an hour given his lack of influence on the match. Probably 50/50 on him starting.
Son Heung Min-- A little tricky with Liverpool on Thursday. Mourinho has leaned hard on Son this season so while I'd normally expect a rest in the cup, I think he will start to get some minutes after a week of rest with the hope that they settle things early and can be subbed off.
