Starting Lineup:
GK Tim Howard’s 17th appearance of 2017 will equal last season’s total matches played after he joined the Rapids in the summer window from Everton. Howard’s first-ever appearance for Colorado came on July 4, 2016 – a 0-0 home draw against the Timbers.
DEF Mike da Fonte returns to the Starting XI after serving a one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation. Da Fonte is just 10 minutes shy of reaching the 1,000 mark in just his first season in MLS. Prior to the suspension, da Fonte had started the previous 10 matches, going the distance in all but one.
