Let’s turn to the possible sides plus player fitness updates for Monday’s impending MLS match.
Vancouver Whitecaps will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 5-0 Liga de Campeones de la CONCACAF defeat in their last game at the hands of el Cruz Azul. We think that Caps will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation for this game, handing starts to Yohei Takaoka, Mathías Laborda, Ranko Veselinovic, Bjørn Inge Utvik, Tate Johnson, Sebastian Berhalter, Andres Cubas, Jean-Claude Ngando, Emmanuel Sabbi, Daniel Rios y Jayden Nelson.
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Vancouver Whitecaps boss Jesper Sørensen to be concerned with from a near full-strength group of players. Ryan Gauld misses out.
Possible Vancouver Whitecaps team to play Seattle Sounders FC
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against el Minnesota United in MLS action, Seattle Sounders FC and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. We are inclined to think that The Sounders might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Stefan Frei, Alex Roldan, Stuart Hawkins, Jon Bell, Nouhou Tolo, Obed Vargas, Cristian Roldan, Paul Rothrock, Albert Rusnák, Ryan Kent y Jesús Ferreira.
Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer has a number of players out of action. Paul Arriola (Cruciate ligament tear), Yeimar Gómez Andrade (Muscle injury), Jordan Morris (unknown injury) and Kee-hee Kim (Calf injury) miss out here.
