Sporting Kansas City (13-6-6, 42 points) earned a fourth straight shutout victory on Saturday, defeating Minnesota United FC 2-0 at Children's Mercy Park to move within a point of Western Conference leaders FC Dallas. Manager Peter Vermes' men will now prepare for a mouthwatering matchup with Seattle Sounders FC (11-9-5, 38 points) on Saturday at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
Saturday's contest is set for 3 p.m. CT, with three hours of live coverage beginning at 2:30 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Kansas City and FOX Sports Midwest Plus. The match will also air nationally in Spanish on UniMas and stream live in English on Twitter at @UnivisionSports, while ESPN 94.5 FM, 1510 AM and ESPN Deportes KC 1480 AM will broadcast the game over the radio. Additionally, The Final Whistle postgame show will take place immediately afterward on ESPN 94.5 and 1510 AM.
Sporting KC has posted four consecutive shutout wins in a single season for the first time ever, while Seattle has tied an MLS record during the non-shootout era (2000-present) with a seven-game regular-season winning streak of their own.
All supporters are invited to the official watch party for Saturday's crucial Western Conference clash at No Other Pub in the Kansas City Power & Light District (1370 Grand Blvd.). Beginning at 2:30 p.m. CT, No Other Pub will offer $5 Corona cans and an all-you-can-eat buffet with bottomless soda and domestic draft beers.

A new episode of The Sporting KC Show will air at 7 p.m. CT Tuesday on Sports Radio 810 WHB. Hosts Nate Bukaty and Carter Augustine will recap the victory over Minnesota and look ahead to Saturday's colossal matchup between Sporting KC and Seattle.
Led by head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Swope Park Rangers (10-9-7, 37 points) secured a 2-1 road win over San Antonio FC on Saturday to take sole possession of the eighth and final playoff spot in the USL's Western Conference.
