South Korea's Son Heung-min

 

Line-ups

South Korea: Cho Hyun-Woo, Lee Yong, Yun Young-Sun, Kim Young-Gwon, Hong Chul, Lee Jae-Sung, Jung Woo-Young, Jang Hyun-Soo, Moon Seon-Min, Koo Ja-Cheol, Son Heung-Min

Germany: Neuer, Kimmich, Süle, Hummels, Hector, Khedira, Goretzka, Özil, Kroos, Reus, Werner

Germany is bracing itself for the pace offered by South Korea's attack in its crucial final World Cup Group F clash, with Timo Werner particularly wary of Son Heung-min.

Joachim Low's side came back from the brink in its previous outing against Sweden, ultimately winning 2-1 after falling behind in the first half.

A defeat would have sent Germany packing, but Toni Kroos' sumptuous late strike saw them move level on three points with Sweden.

Its final group outing in Kazan on Wednesday is vital for both sides, as Korea – despite losing its first two games – can still qualify with a victory if it beats Germany by more than two goals and Mexico defeats Sweden.
