FC Dallas looks to end a two-game home losing streak tonight as they host Sporting Kansas City.
Both teams have their lineups in, so let’s discuss them ahead of tonight’s match.
Quick thoughts
After their win in Salt Lake last week, Eric Quill is keeping the same group on the field that started that match, except for two changes.
The first is a massive change. Nolan Norris gets his first start tonight at left back over Marco Farfan. The club has told me they are managing Farfan's minutes with some rest tonight, though he'll be on the bench.
The other is Maarten Paes returning from international duty with Indonesia in goal. He'll have Osaze Urhoghide, Sebastien Ibeagha and Shaq Moore in the defense in front of him.
The midfield likely stays in a 4-3-3 set up with Ramiro Benetti sitting in front of the defense with Sebastian Lletget and Patrickson Delgado in front of him.
The attacking trio will continue to see Lucho Acosta sitting below Leo Chu and Petar Musa.
Who we could see off the bench
Quill continues to really be limited with how he uses his bench. Last week he only used three subs, while he's mostly used four in home matches so far this season. I'd project Logan Farrington to come off the bench at some point, along with potentially Pedrinho. I think we could also see the debut of Kaick or Show tonight as well.
