Tune into the match with myself and Asa Rehman on 730 CKNW, 101.1 HD3, and CKNW.com, starting with our pre-match show and ending with our post-match show. Saturday's match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. PT.
Here are the keys for the 'Caps as they head to California to take on San Jose Earthquakes
Well timed runs
San Jose play a crazy high line defensively.
They have conceded the third most goals in the Western Conference.
Any well timed run behind their back line will create good scoring chances for the 'Caps.
Protect against the counter
San Jose are a threat on the counterattack.
We need to be organized when we have the ball.
As well, not overplay in our defensive third.
Müller momentum
It was an exciting week for the club.
The news of Thomas Müller's arrival next week will be a massive boost to everyone.
We need to keep the positive momentum going in San Jose.
Next home match
