San Jose Earthquakes preview: Looking to extend their unbeaten run
Midfielder Noel Buck remains ruled out due to injury, while Bruno Wilson, Niko Tsakiris and Nick Fernandez still have fitness concerns heading into this weekend's game.
Bruce Arena’s men have gone unbeaten in their last three games (W1, D2), with their most recent involvement against the Los Angeles Galaxy ending in a 1-1 stalemate. The Quakes are inching closer to the automatic playoff positions, and a win this weekend could see them get there.
Arena has preferred the 3-4-2-1 formation this campaign, but in the last two games, he has deployed the 3-4-3 setup with Cristian Arango and Cristian Espinoza both starting, while Josef Martinez and Preston Judd come into the lineup interchangeably.
Arango has been the standout scorer in the Quakes’ forward ranks with 10 goals, with seven of them coming in his last 10 appearances.
Predicted lineup: Daniel (GK), Rodrigues, Munie, Romney, Jones, Leroux, Kaye, Costa, Espinoza, Judd & Arango.

New York Red Bulls preview: Hoping to improve their fortunes on the road
Red Bulls played out an entertaining 2-2 draw against Minnesota United last time out, a clash which saw Cameroonian forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting get an assist and the game’s last goal, which ensured both teams shared a point.
With back-to-back league draws in recent times for the visitors, a chance to return to winning ways this weekend is on the cards, as they have not lost any of their last seven games against the Quakes.
Coach Schwarz will not be available in the dugout for the visitors after his sending-off last time, as his assistant takes charge of the contest this weekend.
The forward trio of Mohammed Sofo, Choupo-Moting, and Emil Forsberg will likely retain their place in the starting XI, while Dylan Nealis and Cameron Harper remain sidelined with injuries for the visitors.
Predicted lineup: Coronel (GK), Nealis, Eile, Valencia, Duncan, Stroud, Carballo, Ngoma, Sofo, Forsberg & Choupo-Moting.
