Omar Bravo is back and healthy, but Peter Vermes isn't going to change his starting XI. Sporting Kansas City are going with the same players that got them to today's Eastern Conference final, most notably with a front line of Kei Kamara, Teal Bunbury and C.J. Sapong in lieu of Bravo. They'll have plenty of help from a loud home crowd too, which is already beginning to fill up Livestrong Sporting Park.
