MLS Preview: Salt Lake look for attacking spark

Jeff Cassar's men are second in the Western Conference, which the Seattle Sounders top by six points.

Joao Plata (eight goals) and Alvaro Saborio (six) have led the goalscoring for Real Salt Lake, but were the only two forwards on the board this season before Olmes Garcia's brace against the Montreal Impact.

"[We] have both been out looking at some options. Our preference remains, as I've expressed repeatedly, to keep our team," he said.

"We think these guys have earned it. We think we have a good, veteran group."

The Red Bulls sit fifth in the East but are winless in two matches and will be relying on the league's top goalscorer Bradley Wright-Phillips (17 goals).

A pair of the Eastern Conference's top sides also do battle on Wednesday as DC United host Toronto.
