The Seattle Sounders are hosting the first-place LA Galaxy at Lumen Field on Sunday (6 p.m. PT; FS1, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM | TICKETS) and will be sporting their new Jimi Hendrix kits. Here are three matchups to watch:
Raúl Ruidíaz vs. Nick DePuy
Ruidíaz recorded a brace in the opening week and nearly added another on a header in Week 2 (a chance that Brad Smith cleaned up for a goal). The Sounders’ talisman will look to get on the score sheet again as he lines up against Daniel Steres and his inexperienced center back partner DePuy, who was a collegiate forward before transitioning to central defense over the last few years.
