WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Here are some relevant storylines ahead of Saturday's match against the Houston Dynamo. Click HERE to view the complete Revolution Game Notes for Saturday's match.

Forward Juan Agudelo potentially making his 100th career MLS start.

Midfielder Diego Fagundez will look to record a goal for a third consecutive match. Should he score, Fagundez will become the first Revs player to achieve the feat since Kei Kamara scored four goals in a three-game span from July 22 - August 5, 2017.

Forward Cristian Penilla will look to extend his streak of matches with an assist to three. If he registers an assist, it will mark the first time a Revolution player has recorded an assist in three consecutive matches since both Diego Fagundez and Kelyn Rowe did it from September 3-17, 2016.

Midfielder Kelyn Rowe (28G/38A) needs two more goals to become the sixth member of the Revolution's 30/30 club, joining Diego Fagundez (42G/32A), Shalrie Joseph (37G/34A), Joe-Max Moore (41G/35A), Lee Nguyen (51G/49A), and Steve Ralston (42G/73A).

There are a pair of notable connections between the Revolution and Houston Dynamo:

o Revolution defender Jalil Anibaba played for Houston from 2016-17. Anibaba made 38 appearances across two seasons with the Dynamo, including four appearances in the 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs.

o Revolution forward Teal Bunbury was teammates with Dynamo assistant coach Davy Arnaud while with Sporting Kansas City from 2010-11.
