FC Dallas is back at home to start a three-game home stand in September. Up first is a visit from the Portland Timbers.<\/p>\n

Lineups are in from both sides. Let\u2019s dive into what Eric Quill\u2019s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes later on in this one. <\/p>\n

What Changed From Last Match<\/p>\n

No Osaze Urhoghide tonight, due to a yellow card suspension. That means the defense shifts a little bit with Sebastien Ibeagha sliding back into the middle, with Shaq Moore and Nolan Norris on the other sides. <\/p>\n

In goal, we see the return of Daniel who has been out since late July with a hamstring injury. <\/p>\n

Petar Musa is back, but on the bench tonight. Santiago Moreno re-joins the lineup after scoring a game-winner in Minnesota on Wednesday night. Ran Binyamin gets another start on the wings, with Herman Johansson moved back to the bench.<\/p>\n

\nJohanssonDF
\nTorquatoDF
\nDelgadoMF
\nCappisMF
\nHolstadMF
\nSarverFW
\nMusaFW<\/p>\n

Who should come off the bench?<\/p>\n

I think it is fair to say we\u2019ll see both Musa and Sarver in this one. I\u2019d also estimate we\u2019ll see Johansson, Cappis and possibly Delgado. But Quill did only go with three subs on Wednesday night, he may not use the full five again tonight. <\/p>\n

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff<\/p>\n

Can Dallas make it three-for-three to begin the month? <\/p>\n

A two-game winning streak is always a tough thing to get going, but a three-game winning streak always seems to be even tougher for this group. We know the starts have been slow at home this season, but if Dallas can get off on the right foot in this one unlike last weekend, we could be looking at three more points tonight. <\/p>\n
