Prep Talk: Sporting KC at New England Revolution - October 1, 2016

Ahead of Sporting Kansas City's trip to face New England, SportingKC.com caught up with Revs beat writer Kyle McCarthy to preview #NEvSKC. Live coverage of Saturday's match is available on 38 The Spot (KMCI-TV), SKCTV, 99.3 FM, and La Grande 1340 AM.

The Revolution have won three of four league matches. What’s been the key to the team’s late season resurgence?

There are a number of factors at work here, but there are two principle reasons for the uptick in form. The first is in defense: the Revs aren't leaking as many goals as they did earlier in the season.
