The Sounders will be without three first-team attackers for the upcoming two-match stretch, but Chad Marshall is expected to make the trip.
Having come off two deflating losses to the most in-form teams in all of MLS, the Seattle Sounders will be hoping to turn their fortunes around on their two-game East Coast trip that starts at the New England Revolution on Saturday. The Sounders are without starter Clint Dempsey for these matches, forcing Sigi Schmid to adjust his tactics based on available personnel.
Seattle will also be without the services of youngster Oalex Anderson, who was forced off the field against Colorado just minutes after coming into the match in the second half.
