Seattle currently sits in first place in the Western Conference with 20 points through 11 matches, one point above St. Louis CITY SC, while Houston ranks sixth in the West with 14 points.
Sounders FC announced that it has signed Tacoma Defiance defender Cody Baker and midfielder Paul Rothrock to short-term agreements ahead of Saturday’s match.

An individual player may be included on up to four MLS league season match rosters each season, however, that player may appear in no more than two MLS league season matches. An individual player may appear in any number of non-league games during the terms of his four short-term agreements.
Seattle leads the regular-season series 13-5-6 between the two sides, including a 3-5-4 record in Houston. The Rave Green also hold a 2-1-1 mark against Dynamo FC in postseason play. Since the start of the 2015 season, Sounders FC holds a 4-2-3 road record at Houston (including postseason).
