Player to Watch: Diego Luna (Real Salt Lake)
Diego Luna remains the creative heartbeat of Real Salt Lake.
The American playmaker has been instrumental in their impressive MLS campaign, linking midfield and attack with his vision, dribbling and intelligent movement.
Playing at home, where Real Salt Lake have been outstanding this season, Luna will be eager to dictate the tempo and exploit Burnley's defence, which is still adapting to a new tactical system under Nicky Hayen.
Player to Watch: Armando Broja (Burnley)
Armando Broja could be one of Burnley's biggest attacking threats if handed a starting role.
His pace, strength and direct running make him a constant danger against high defensive lines.
With Burnley looking to sharpen their attacking combinations before the Championship season begins, Broja will be keen to make an early impression under the club's new manager.
