Hwang Ui Jo-- Should start. Hopefully a stronger side.
Lee Kang In-- Was left out of midweek cup squad for rest I assume so should start. UPDATE: LKI apparently tested positive and is out for the weekend.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- With his new extension over the winter break, strong chance for Jeong to start.
Lee Jae Sung-- I think that given upward trajectory until he ran out of gas late that he should start.
Son Heung Min-- An unpleasant day that was more about Chelsea dominating possession with their pressing more so than Tottenham's attacking approach as in prior weeks. Adding Ndombele helped a bit but the damage had been done and Son was soon taken off, though it felt a bit premature to throw in the towel on the match IMO. I expect Son to be rested here ahead of second leg of cup next week, but with the subbing off, a chance that Son starts. UPDATE: Son out with an injury until February and seems on course to miss WCQ.
Suk Hyun Jun-- I'm assuming will continue backup forward role unless they get someone in winter window but with a new manager, we'll see if there are other changes.
Hwang Hee Chan-- Still out injured.
