San Jose Earthquakes will be keen to carry on the momentum from last week's crucial victory over the Chicago Fire into Saturday when they visit PayPal Park to take on Sporting Kansas City.
The San Jose Earthquakes finally ended their winless run last time out in MLS, with Hernan Lopez's goal proving enough to beat Chicago.
San Jose remain six points adrift of their nearest rivals – Saturday's opponents Sporting KC – at the foot of the Western Conference table.
The visitors, on the other hand, head to California in search of a fourth win in five matches across all competitions to keep their recent resurgence going.
