Player to watch: Brian White
Brian White has been in sensational form, scoring seven goals in his last five appearances for Vancouver Whitecaps.
However, although only two players have scored more goals than White in the MLS this season, the former New York Red Bulls is yet to score in an away game.
It will be interesting to see if White can score on the road for the first time since September.
