The holiday weekend of Chuseok (Full Moon Harvest) will serve a soccer feast courtesy of the country's Europe-based stars.

Lee Young-pyo of England's Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday will seek to impress again, this time against host Aston Villa, after making just about every all-star team for his outstanding debut against Liverpool last weekend.

Ex-Spurs great Chris Hughton, now an assistant coach with the team, said Lee is a very attacking fullback who showed his experience in his debut.

Park Ji-sung will go to Liverpool as Manchester United takes on last season's Champions League winner.

United played Villarreal of Spain to a scoreless draw Wednesday in a Champions League qualifier, with Cristiano Ronaldo playing most of the game in Park's stead.

An Electric New Paper soccer analyst said Park should play in Champions League matches because of his previous experience in European soccer.

United Coach Alex Ferguson has yet to name who will start at midfielder.

In France, Ahn Jung-hwan of FC Metz will square off against Nancy and Cha Du-ri will suit up for Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt against Hamburg.

Seol Ki-hyeon of England's second-tier team Wolverhampton will face off against Leicester City.

Seo Jung-won of Austria's SV Ried will play in his team's game with Sturm Graz.
