Kansas City Current will look to reclaim the top spot in NWSL, when they welcome North Carolina Courage this Sunday at CPKC stadium.
The Current are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in the NWSL, currently sitting in second place with 18 points and a +9 goal differential. After winning five of their first six games, Kansas City have played back-to-back draws away from home heading into this weekend's contest.
The Courage, meanwhile, sit six points behind the hosts in sixth spot. The visitors will look to get a road result and push themselves into the top-four conversation this weekend, but they face an uphill task against the current NWSL runners-up.
