Portland Timbers vs. Real Salt Lake Live Stream Online: MLS Standings 2015, Projected Lineups and Tactical Preview

Two clubs in the Western Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake. The first-division clash scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET will be held at Providence Park in Portland and can be live streamed here.

What They're Saying

Portland Timbers manager Caleb Porter (via MLSsoccer.com): "I thought moving back to 4-3-3 and the lineup we played to start the game with more true wingers gave us a little bit more penetration. Those front four guys are dynamic. We went with a pace-power component and we were able to get some good width."

Real Salt Lake manager Jeff Cassar: "I think it's [the 4-3-3] another weapon in the arsenal. Our roster has changed a little bit. Where we were very deep in the midfield before, now we seem to have a little bit more top-heavy players. It's all about getting all those players on the field while also still playing the same soccer that we want."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Fewer players are better on the dribble than Portland's Darlington Nagbe. Last season, the 24-year-old averaged 2.8 take-ons in 32 league appearances.

Portland Timbers' Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kwarasey; Villafana, Ridgewell, Borchers, Powell; Jewsbury, Chara; Wallace, Fernandez, Nagbe; Adi

Real Salt Lake's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Rimando; Phillips, Schuler, Olave, Beltran; Gil, Beckerman, Morales; Garcia, Saborio, Jaime
