That's the same lineup the Sounders' used during preseason whenever they put out their nominal first team. The only question mark heading in was whether or not Brad Evans would get the nod after he missed a week of training to do with the MLS Collective Bargaining Agreement. But he was cleared after going through the final two days of practice.
On the Sounders bench are Andy Rose, Dylan Remick, Cristian Roldan, Zach Scott, Chad Barrett, Aaron Kovar and Troy Perkins.
The Revolution's lineup will look like this: Shuttleworth; Alston, Goncalves, Farrell, Tierney, Dorman, Caldwell, Fagundez, Agudelo, Bunbury, Rowe. Bench: Knighton, Barnes, Davies, Kobayashi, Neumann, Okoli, Woodberry.
