Lineup news

Chris Schuler and Jamison Olave are both expected to be out, so expect to see Aaron Maund and Elias Vasquez together again.

Jordan Allen's status is unknown, but don't be surprised if he's back on the bench if he's been able to work past an injury.

Real Salt Lake's mystery transfer target also won't be joining the team for the Vancouver match, obviously. (Someday, we'll sign a player.)

Luis Gil should be back on the bench after being left off for RSL's 1-0 win over Municipal, but don't expect him to start.

Nick Rimando will almost certainly be available, but don't be surprised if he rests with Wednesday's US Open Cup match looming.
