FRISCO - FC Dallas returns to MLS action tonight against Minnesota United FC and Oscar Pareja has made two changes to his Starting XI from Tuesday's match in Pachuca.
Three Changes to the XI
Javier Morales will make his first MLS start and appearance with FCD, Jesse Gonzalez will get his second start of the season in goal and Atiba Harris will make his first MLS start of 2017 tonight for Dallas. Morales played in two CCL matches for his new club, but has not appeared in the first three league matches. Gonzalez posted a two-save shutout against Sporting KC on March 11 in a 0-0 draw. Harris will move over to left back, after playing right back for the entirety of 2016, in place of Maynor Figeuroa who is serving a one-game suspension from the MLS Disciplinary Committee. Pareja will go with away from the 4-4-2 look for just the third time in eight matches across all competitions this year.
Maxi's 100th
Dallas' leading goal scorer on the season will make his 100th MLS appearance tonight, his 33rd with FC Dallas. The Argentine striker has 27 goals and nine assists over his first 99 appearances, including three goals in two league games this season.
Chala, Ulloa Return to the 18
Anibal Chala and Victor Ulloa are both available off the bench tonight for the first time this season in MLS play. The two underwent similar sports hernia surgeries during the preseason and have missed the first six weeks of the regular season. Ulloa made his return to an FC Dallas 18 on Tuesday in CCL play.
