On Saturday evening, the top of the Western Conference will face the bottom, with St Louis City hoping for their 11th league win of the season against the struggling Colorado Rapids.
St Louis is tied on points with second-placed Los Angeles FC in the table, while Colorado Rapids has only 14 points from 19 games this season, leaving them at the bottom of the division.

St. Louis currently sits atop the division, barely ahead of the defending champion Los Angeles FC, with 32 points after winning 10, drawing twice, and losing seven of their 19 league games this season.
Having only been created in late 2019, Bradley Carnell's team is participating in their first-ever MLS season, making their strong start to the season all the more impressive.
St. Louis started the season strong, winning three straight league games between May 21 and June 4, but then failed to win in three of their next four, earning only one point. However, their recent victory over San Jose gave them a major lift at a crucial juncture in the season.
Despite having seven losses in 19 games, Carnell's squad leads the division. However, they have played one more game than Los Angeles in second place and are only five points above Real Salt Lake in sixth place.
Colorado, meanwhile, will enter this game on a nine-game losing streak, with their most recent victory in the MLS coming in a 3-1 triumph over the Los Angeles Galaxy at the start of May.
There is no getting around the fact that Colorado has had a difficult start to the season, with only two victories from 19 league games and garnering only 14 points.
Robin Fraser's side has lost their last three league games on the road, conceding nine goals in the process, which will not instil confidence in their fans ahead of this match.
