Team news: FC Seoul will be without defender Lee Sang-min for this match because of a back injury, while Ulsan HD have no absentees.

FC Seoul beat Pohang Steelers 3-1 at home in their last outing, extending their unbeaten run to six matches with five wins and one draw. They are firmly top of the league table and, back on home soil again, should feel confident about protecting their strong home form.

Ulsan HD lost 2-1 at home to Incheon United in their previous match. It was a disappointing defeat, especially as they had been expected to hold the edge. With recent results slipping, Ulsan have dropped to fourth in the league.

The two sides are in very different form at the moment. FC Seoul remain on a strong title push, while Ulsan HD continue to slide and are winless in their last five league games. Backed by their home fans, manager Kim Gi-dong and FC Seoul look well placed to keep the momentum going.

Head-to-head: FC Seoul won the first meeting between the sides this season 4-1 away from home. In their three meetings last season, FC Seoul recorded two wins and one draw.
