Toronto FC preview: In a bad spot
After 21 MLS games, Toronto have managed to win just 18 points, which puts them only ahead of Montreal in the Eastern Conference standings. Given that the last team in the playoff picture is already 11 points ahead, it seems that Toronto won't be a part of the playoffs this season, although there's still plenty of time to turn things around.
Meanwhile, Henry Wingo, Zane Monlouis, Jonathan Osorio, and Nicksoen Gomis are out with injuries.
Predicted lineup: Johnson (GK), Laryea, Long, Rosted, Petretta, Coello, Flores, Corbeanu, Dominguez, Etienne & Brynhildsen

Player to watch: Anders Dreyer
With 11 goals and 13 assists in the league so far, Dreyer has been phenomenal and is one of the main reasons why San Diego, who are in their first-ever MLS season, are currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference standings.
