LINEUP NOTES:

  • Head Coach Brian Schmetzer makes one change to the back line, with Nouhou replacing Reed Baker-Whiting.
  • Sounders FC and the Crew met last year in Columbus on September 7. Albert Rusnák scored a hat trick in the 4-0 Seattle victory, the third hat trick recorded by a Sounder against Columbus.
  • Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei is currently sitting at 999 regular-season saves since joining the club prior to the 2014 season. He is looking to become the second goalkeeper in MLS history to record 1,000 saves with one club (Nick Rimando, who made 1,128 saves with Real Salt Lake).
