Minnesota United preview: A few injury concerns
Minnesota booked their place in the semifinals of the US Open Cup on Wednesday as they edged out Chicago Fire 3-1 in extra time after it ended 1-1 in regulation time. Kelvin Yeboah bagged a late brace in that clash to help his team progress to the last four.
Back to MLS action this weekend, Ramsay's troops are unbeaten in their last three league games and are just two points behind the top spot in the Western Conference.
Coach Ramsay will not be able to rely on the services of midfielder Hassani Dotson, defender Kipp Keller, and goalkeeper Wessel Speel this weekend due to injuries.
However, the gaffer will be pleased to have Tani Oluwaseyi, Anthony Markanich and Kelvin Yeboah available for this game. These three have provided the most attacking threat for Minnesota this season, with a combined 18 MLS goals among them.
Predicted lineup: Clair (GK), Gressel, Harvey, Boxall, Romero, Markanich, Oluwaseyi, Lod, Trapp, Pereyra & Yeboah.

San Jose Earthquakes preview: Looking to get back to winning ways

DeJuan Jones faces suspension this weekend following his sending off for two bookable offences against New York Red Bulls last Sunday. On the treatment table, Bruno Wilson, Niko Tsakiris, and Noel Buck remain sidelined due to injuries.
Predicted lineup: Daniel (GK), Rodriguez, Romney, Munie, Kikanovic, Harkes, Leroux, Costa, Arango, Bouda & Martinez.

Player to watch: Cristian Arango
Cristian Arango got back to scoring ways by registering the first goal in San Jose's US Open Cup defeat to Austin a few days ago. The Colombian forward has been arguably the team's best player with eight goal contributions in his last 10 appearances. He will fancy his chances against Minnesota United.
