Sigi Schmid needed to rest some of his big guns in the US Open Cup, but still managed to start captain Brad Evans, defender Chad Marshall, forward/midfielder Lamar Neagle and forward Obafemi Martins. Martins returns to the starting lineup after nose surgery and a dominant performance off the bench against FC Dallas.
The rest of the lineup is rotational players and reserves. Troy Perkins, official Open Cup keeper, starts in goal.
