Real Salt Lake not overconfident vs. last-place 'Quakes

There're plenty of questions tonight, though. With Kyle Beckerman and Will Johnson away with their respective national teams at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Javier Morales questionable following his ankle injury last weekend, RSL will likely be missing all three of its first choice midfielders.

It will, however, get a reprieve defensively with the return of Jamison Olave following last week's red card suspension. His return will likely push Robbie Russell into a holding midfield role as RSL sticks with the 4-3-3 formation that's been so productive as of late.

If Morales is indeed out, Andy Williams could be poised for his second start of the season. Regardless, the depth RSL's coaching staff has raved about all year will once again be put to the test.

"We've said so many times that we believe we built this team the right way and it's yet another chance to prove it," said Kreis.

ENDLINES: Tonight's match will be followed by a postgame fireworks show.
