The Seattle Sounders visit Sporting Kansas City on Sunday (3 p.m. PT; FS1, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, EL REY 1360 AM) in Week 13 MLS action. Here are three matchups to watch, presented by Toyota.

Ruidíaz and Besler recently returned from injury spells. SKC has an abundance of other ailments to deal with, especially in its depleted midfield, so the host’s back four will receive very little cover. With his instincts in the final third and sharp, precise movements in the box, you have to the like Peruvian’s chances in a 1-v-1 matchup with any defender in the league.
