Time now to check on our experts’ predicted teams and player availability news for Sunday’s big MLS clash.
Seattle Sounders FC will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 2-0 MLS triumph versus Austin FC. We are thinking that The Sounders may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match with Stefan Frei, Kalani Kossa-Rienzi, Alex Roldan, Jackson Ragen, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Jesús Ferreira, Albert Rusnák, Paul Rothrock and Danny Musovski.
Yeimar Gómez Andrade, Paul Arriola and Kee-hee Kim will not be able to play for Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer.
Possible Seattle Sounders FC team to play Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew come into this game following on from a 1-0 MLS win with the defeat of Philadelphia Union in their last match. We’re of the thinking that The Crew appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation using Evan Bush, Andres Herrera, Steven Moreira, Yevgen Cheberko, Lassi Lappalainen, Sean Zawadzki, Darlington Nagbe, Dylan Chambost, Diego Rossi, Jacen Russell-Rowe and Dániel Gazdag.
Columbus manager Wilfried Nancy has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Patrick Schulte (Injury to abdominal muscles), Nicholas Hagen (Contracture) and Rudy Camacho (Hamstring injury) won’t be making appearances.
