Preview

Vancouver Whitecaps kept the pace at the top end of the Western Conference standings last time out, cruising to a 3-0 victory against a free-falling Real Salt Lake side. That result ended a run of back-to-back league defeats for the hosts.

Lucas Bartlett drew DC United back to level terms against Charlotte FC last weekend, but Rene Weiler's side couldn't avoid a 2-1 defeat to the in-form side. Sunday's visitors have won just one of their last eight MLS matches.
