Two clubs in opposite conferences of MLS will do battle today in a league match between Real Salt Lake and Toronto FC. The first-division clash scheduled for 7 p.m. ET will be held at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports 1.
What They're Saying
RSL manager Jeff Cassar (via MLS): "That's why we tried to change formation, to suit some people's strengths. I felt like you saw Olmes [Garcia] tonight, you saw [Alvaro Saborio] in that target forward and Olmes making great runs and Sebastian [Jamie] making great runs and our outside backs getting forward."
TFC manager Greg Vanney: "We have good leadership and a good group of players in terms of our depth. Luke Moore, Collen Warner, all those guys give us choices and some guys who, quite frankly, deserve some minutes. This will give them an opportunity to get some time to play and to show us what they have."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Jozy Altidore away on international duty Moore will have his opportunity to start. Last season, the 29-year-old finished with six goals and four assists.
RSL's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Attinella; Mansally, Schuler, Olave, Beltran; Mulholland, Beckerman, Morales; Garcia, Sandoval, Jaime
TFC's Projected Lineup (4-3-1-2): Bendik; Creavalle, Perquis, Hagglund, Morgan; Osorio, Warner, Cheyrou; Giovinco; Findley, Moore
