Player to Watch: Dejan Joveljic
In hot form at the moment, Joveljic will be the one to keep an eye out for. The Serbian marksman has netted in each of his last four appearances for Sporting KC – five goals in as many appearances.
He is in the running for the MLS top scorer award, with 10 goals to his name in 18 league appearances this campaign.
