In just the fourth match of the season, Real Salt Lake will already test its depth when it faces LAFC on Saturday from Banc of California Stadium (8:30 p.m. MT; KMYU, KSL TV app, ESPN 700).
After opening the season with a 1-1-1 record, RSL saw a few international absences compounded by two red cards in last week’s 5-0 loss to D.C. United. Now faced with a slew of lineup decisions, Head Coach Mike Petke will turn to the team’s bench for solutions to what already shaped up to be a tough matchup against one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
