Sigi Schmid's Sounders are five points clear atop the Western Conference after coming from behind for the fourth time this season to beat Dallas 2-1 on Wednesday.
With Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins, the Sounders have arguably the league's most dangerous strike force.
"If we get him (Martins) on the ball or we get Clint Dempsey on the ball in the last 25 yards … it's problems for them," Schmid said after his side's win over Dallas.
"Our team never lost hope and faith and continued to show good character and battled well."
Real Salt Lake remain the league's only unbeaten side, sitting second behind the Sounders, ahead of their trip to the Houston Dynamo.
A stunning 3-2 comeback win at the Chicago Fire was Real's last outing as they extended their unbeaten run to start the campaign to nine.
A winnable game at the Montreal Impact is followed by Wednesday's home clash against the Philadelphia Union, with both their opponents in the bottom three in the East.
