The Dynamo look to build on their five-game unbeaten streak Saturday night when they play host to the San Jose Earthquakes at BBVA Compass Stadium.
They also can add to their unbeaten home record, which sits at 8-0-3.
Saturday's game carries extra importance because of how tight the Western Conference standings are. Just two points separate the second-place Dynamo and fifth-place Earthquakes.
Here are the lineups for both teams:
Dynamo Starting XI (4-3-3)
GK: Tyler Deric
D: DaMarcus Beasley, Leonardo, Adolfo Machado, A.J. DeLaGarza
M: Juan David Cabezas, Ricardo Clark, Boniek Garcia
