CHESTER, Pa. - FC Dallas makes their lone trip to visit the Philadelphia Union tonight, looking to remain unbeaten against the blue and gold. Let's take a look into the lineup Oscar Pareja thinks can do just that.
Back Line Moves
Oscar Pareja gets back both Maynor Figueroa and All-Star Hernan Grana after suspensions last week, but Figueroa will move back to the center role rather than on the left. Ryan Hollingshead, who has started the last six matches across all competitions, will stay on the left with Pareja preferring his attacking prowess and Walker Zimmerman will be a healthy scratch from the starting lineup for just the second time this season.
Seitz Starts
Chris Seitz will get his chance in goal once again in his former home city, starting ahead of Jesse Gonzalez, who went 45 minutes in Tuesday night's MLS Homegrown game. Gonzalez returned from international duty late last week and allowed four goals for just the third time in his career. Seitz started 22 games for the Union during his lone season in Philly in 2010, his previous career-best year prior to 2016.
Cermeno and Vic
Victor Ulloa will get his sixth straight start across all competitions against the Union with Carlos Cermeño making his third MLS start tonight. Kellyn Acosta, after busy stints with the U.S. National Team, the MLS All-Star team and playing 45 minutes between the two against Vancouver last week will get a well-deserved rest tonight, starting the match on the bench. Jacori Hayes returns to an FCD 18 as well, with Carlos Gruezo is suspended for the match after seeing a red card last Saturday.
