Seattle Sounders team news and form: The Sounders climbing the ladder

Sporting KC team news and form: Jake Davis out
Coach Peter Vermes will have to find a suitable replacement for Davies, as he earned himself a foolish 92nd-minute red card in Sporting KC’s last game. It will be interesting who Vermes will swap him with, as there aren’t that many quality midfielders at his disposal this season.
Predicted lineup: Melia (GK), Shelton, Rosero, Voloder, Leibold, Bassong, Rodriguez, Russell, Thommy, Salloi & Pulido

Player to watch: Albert Rusnak
After scoring a wonderful hattrick in the match at Lower.com Field against Columbus Crew, Rusnak earned the right to be featured as the player to watch in our professional Seattle Sounders vs Sporting KC prediction.
Second player to watch: Johnny Russell
If the visitors are to get a good result, Russell will have to lead the team. The 34-year-old captain is still a force to be reckoned with and we are sure he will be among the starters for his manager this week.
