How to watch today's Charlotte vs Real Salt Lake MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Charlotte will aim to register their third straight win when they welcome Real Salt Lake to Bank of America Stadium for an MLS encounter on Saturday.

Having faced an exit in the Leagues Cup despite a 2-0 victory over Monterrey, the Crown picked up a 1-0 win against Cincinnati last weekend to remain seventh in the Eastern Conference. 

On the other hand, RSL find themselves outside the top-10 in the West after the cross-conference rivals were subjected to a 2-1 defeat at the New York Red Bulls.

Charlotte team news

The hosts will be without Souleyman Doumbia and Pep Biel due to hamstring injuries, but captain Ashley Westwood is back from his ban.

Wilfried Zaha and Idan Toklomati combined for the goal last time out and will continue in attack, while goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina eyes his third straight clean sheet after impressing with over half a dozen saves in the Cincinnati win.

Real Salt Lake team news

Injured trio Mason Stajduhar, Zac MacMath and Javain Brown are not available for selection until later this month, while Matthew Bell remains a doubt after missing the last game with a hamstring problem.

There is another certain absentee as Diego Luna has to serve his one-game suspension after being sent off in New Jersey.

Zavier Gozo will be joined by William Agada up front.
