Real Salt Lake has blown hot and cold since Jeff Cassar took over as head coach from Jason Kreis at the end of 2013. A slow start to 2017 cost Cassar his job, and RSL heads into its fourth game of the new season looking for its first win. Daryl Shore is on the sidelines for Salt Lake for now, and will seek to start the team's bounce-back to form.
The New York Red Bulls were brought back down to earth with a 3-1 loss in Seattle in Week 3, after starting MLS 2017 with back-to-back wins.
