Kimbo will likely start against Charlton after coming as a sub midweek.
A mini-Korean derby. Ji Dong-Won, who has done all but score for Augsburg, takes on red hot Son Heung-Min. The latter could be rested for Champions League midweek against Atletico de Madrid, however.
Kim Jin-Su has a decent shout at starting against Freiburg.
Koo Ja-Cheol and Park Joo-Ho are always in the mix for Mainz, but their manager has been fired this week so your guess is as good as mine.
Lee Chung-Yong still injured so his Premier League debut continues to be delayed, while Yun Suk-Young could start as well, depending on what now official boss Ramsey makes of him as he is tasked with getting the R’s to safety this season.
And Ki Sung-Yueng hosts Manchester United at the Liberty Stadium, can he score against Van Gaal’s side like he did to open the season? (Please don’t. United supporter here.)
