Simplified for now with everyone else on winter break.

Day Time (KST) Player Club Opponent TV Tuesday 12:00 AM Lee Chung Yong Crystal Palace Swansea NBC Extra Time Tuesday 12:00 AM Yun Suk Young QPR Huddersfield Town None Tuesday 12:00 AM Ki Sung Yueng Swansea @Crystal Palace NBC Extra Time Tuesday 12:00 AM Son Heung Min Tottenham Norwich City NBC Extra Time

Lee Chung Yong -- Still in Korea (or maybe on way home from there) due to birth of baby so out for at least one more.

Yun Suk Young -- Maybe short week gives him a chance but doubt it.

Ki Sung Yueng -- It's a lot of fixtures in such a short period of time but I don't see Ki turning down chances to start and play.  I think he'll start and look to add to his goal tally.

Son Heung Min -- With the short rest, Pochettino will probably rotate and Son should get a chance to start.  It will be a big chance to impress so hopefully he's able to block out the pressure.  He's a bit unpredictable when under that kind of pressure so we'll see which Son shows up.

Weekend Recap Dec 26th

Quick turnaround here with matches midweek.  (Un-)fortunately, not much to recap for this weekend.

Lee Chung Yong -- Chungy had a baby and returned home to be with the kid.  He'll probably be back  soon but will be out for another match.

Yun Suk Young -- Out of squad yet again.  We'll see what happens in new year.

Ki Sung Yueng -- Scored his first goal, as he opportunistically pounced on GK error and knocked in a loose ball for an easy goal.  Unlike last weekend, he was less influential... it looked at times that Pulis had schemed to slow him down but Ki didn't take advantage of space that he didn't have.  Not a bad performance but a bit labored.

Son Heung Min -- Came on as a late sub with the match looking well in hand and both sides looking like they were saving energy for the next match.  He got behind the defense once but he was wrongly called for offsides and he didn't really have a good touch anyway.  He'll be looking to impress on the next match.
