Sigi Schmid wasn't lying when he said he'd use as strong a lineup as possible. Best Sounders XI since when, May?by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:02:24 PM

Other lineups notables: Has Pineda jumped Friberg on the depth chart? And how will Seattle defend with Valdez and Ivanschitz on wings?by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:04:44 PM

Torres is out for the season. Marshall played 90 at midweek. And Valdez has played wide plenty in the past. twitter.com/JohnnyThunder8…by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 8:05:04 PM

You're right. Best *attack in months. With Marshall out, the back line has been sturdier twitter.com/csanchezwsu/st…by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:06:00 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that SKC midfield has 21 combined matches this season.by Sounders Matchday via twitter 9/27/2015 8:10:40 PM

IMO, the Sounders are safely above the playoff cutoff line. A win today and a first-round bye is very much in play twitter.com/Taylor_Soper/s…by Matt Pentz via twitter 9/27/2015 8:12:33 PM

1 - @SportingKC has 1 home loss in @MLS play this season (W9-L1-D4); team's fewest in a season ever is 2 (2008 & 2011). Protective.

9 - @SoundersFC @clint_dempsey has 9 assists in @MLS play this season, which is one shy of tying his career high (10; 2014). Helpful.
