Fire game day

Real Salt Lake at Chicago Fire, 7 p.m. Saturday at Toyota Park

TV: Fox Soccer Channel

Scouting Real Salt Lake: Central midfielders Kyle Beckerman and Andy Williams control the pace of the game, spreading the ball around. It will be up to John Thorrington and Logan Pause to harass and dispossess Williams and Beckerman and start the Fire attack.

Scouting the Fire: RSL forward Robbie Findley has plenty of speed, and Fire central defenders Dasan Robinson and C.J. Brown need to find a way to stay with him, especially on counterattacks. Findley is among the league leaders with 12 goals this season. Central defender Wilman Conde could be healthy enough to play, though probably only as a late-game substitute to protect a lead.

Next game: MLS Cup, Nov. 22 in Seattle.
