The visitors are 12th in the Western Conference table and just three points clear of the bottom spot heading into the clash against Greg Vanney's team.

Jorge Villafana and Sacha Kljestan are still missing for the home side with knee and hip injuries, respectively, while Douglas Costa is still unavailable because of a leg problem.
However, Sega Coulibaly and Chase Gasper could make the squad depending on late fitness tests.
The California club are hoping to stop their recent decline by picking up a much-needed win, having collected just five points from as many MLS matches heading into this match.
