Two teams in the Western Conference of MLS will do battle today in a match between the Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 p.m. ET will be held at Sporting Park in Kansas City and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on UniMas.
What They're Saying
Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes (via MLS): "It's great to see those guys [Amadou Dia, Saad Abdul-Salaam and Connor Hallisey] getting the kind of time they are, and more importantly, the performances they're putting in."
FC Dallas technical director Fernando Clavijo: "[Rolando] Escobar is a player that can fit in anywhere in the midfield. He is more of an attacking player than a defensive player, but the No. 1 thing he adds is experience. We feel he is a guy that can come in and contribute right away, which is rare in MLS, especially in his position."
The In-Form Player
Benny Feilhaber has been in impeccable form this season. In 12 appearances, the 30-year-old has three goals, five assists and an average of 2.7 key passes.
Projected Lineups
Sporting Kansas City (4-3-3): Melia; Dia, Besler, Elis, Anibaba; Feilhaber, Mustivar, Carrasco; Medranda, Nemeth, Zusi
New York Red Bulls' (4-2-3-1): Kennedy; Hernandez, Hedges, Zimmerman, Watson; Ulloa, Michel; Castillo, Diaz, Hollingshead; Perez
