San Jose Earthquakes have made a late push into the playoffs, with ten points in their last five games, and will be looking for their third win in a row, when they take the field at CenturyLink Field on Sunday evening. #NeverSayDie.

However, this season has been peculiar in that the conference leaders have not always looked unbeatable. Seattle Sounders are a case in point. They have led, or been close to leading the MLS Western Conference for the majority of the season, but now, they come into their last regular season match having won only one of their last six matches.
