Adrián Heath has a particular reason why he respects Sporting Kansas City

“It’s never easy there, we’ve never done particularly well at SKC. I’ve got incredible respect for SKC manager Peter Vermes and his coaching staff for what they do. We know it’s going to be difficult. I know what Peter’s like, he won’t like the fact they haven’t won in four games. We’re going in there on the back of two wins, so there’s confidence in our group" , said Heath on a virtual press conference.

The Loons have recovered from their own run of results by winning back-to-back games and will travel to Children's Mercy Park on Sunday. Minnesota hopes to maintain its good times against friendly rivals.

Sporting's task will be made all the more difficult as they'll likely be without three key players Alan Pulido, Ilie and Roger Espinoza due to injury.
