Soccer stars Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo on Saturday will face off for the first time since their transfers to the English Premier League.

Park's Manchester United, third in the league standings, will host Lee's second-ranked Tottenham Hotspur in a highly-awaited contest.

The two players, who start on South Korea's national team, were teammates on the Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven before making the jump this season to England.

Both players wished each other luck in the game, but also said they are focused on winning. Tottenham and United are far behind league leader Chelsea in points and goal difference.

Lee is also coming off a thigh injury, but should play the entire match.

United is also reeling from injuries to Ryan Giggs and other key players and the rape allegation facing Cristiano Ronaldo.
