Seattle Sounders will be out to protect a six-match MLS winning streak when they host high-flying Los Angeles FC at Lumen Field on Sunday.
The Sounders bounced back from a slow start to the season with six consecutive wins in all competitions, including a 2-0 triumph against St Louis City in midweek. Brian Schmetzer's side rose in the Western Conference standings, now in sixth position with 37 points from 24 games.
LAFC, on the other side, has been smothered in their last two games. Steve Cherundolo's club lost 5-1 at home to reigning MLS Cup winners Columbus Crew before drawing 1-1 at Real Salt Lake in midweek, but they remain on track to compete for the top spot in the West.
