Top two showdown as Monarchs face Phoenix Rising FC tonight

Phoenix Rising comes into Zions Bank Stadium tonight looking to avenge an early season loss on their home field and, more importantly, to move into a tie on points with the Monarchs for first place in the Western Conference at 41 points. The Monarchs have struggled in recent matches on the road, but hope that a return to their home pitch where they have posted a 8-0-1 record will enable them to right the ship.

Two weeks ago while on the road at Chukchansi Park, Phoenix suffered their worst defeat of the season in a 4-0 drubbing by Fresno FC.
