The Vancouver Whitecaps aren91裸聊视频檛 taking anything for granted as they prepare for their next matchup.

Sure, the 91裸聊视频楥aps (12-8-6) come in undefeated in their last three games across all competitions (2-0-1). And yes, on Saturday they91裸聊视频檒l host the San Jose Earthquakes (5-20-2), a team that lingers at the bottom of the Major League Soccer standings.

Vancouver knows, though, that heading in with an air of overconfidence could spell disaster.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got to treat it like any other game,91裸聊视频� said Whitecaps captain Ryan Gauld. 91裸聊视频淭hey91裸聊视频檙e at the bottom, but they91裸聊视频檝e still got a lot of good players that can hurt us if we91裸聊视频檙e not at our best.91裸聊视频�

San Jose heads into the matchup with everything to play for 91裸聊视频� a loss would officially eliminate the club from playoff contention.

The Earthquakes also performed well in the Leagues Cup last month, then burst out of the break with a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, who sit third in the Western Conference, noted 91裸聊视频楥aps head coach Vanni Sartini.

91裸聊视频淚f you look at the standings, someone can say that (Saturday) is an easy game. But it91裸聊视频檚 not an easy game,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e need to play a very good game.91裸聊视频�

Vancouver is coming off a 0-0 draw against Dallas FC last week. While the team didn91裸聊视频檛 collect all three points, the Whitecaps played well, said midfielder Alessandro Schopf.

91裸聊视频淭he only thing I think we need to change is scoring goals. That91裸聊视频檚 the only point we only didn91裸聊视频檛 do well in the last game,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭he rest of it was very good, I think.

91裸聊视频淥f course, now San Jose is not going to be easy. Everyone thinks it91裸聊视频檚 going to be 3-0, 4-0. But it91裸聊视频檚 not going to be like this. Every game in the MLS is a tough game, it91裸聊视频檚 a close game. And hopefully we do a good job as we did the last game and score on our chances. Then we will win the game.91裸聊视频�

After missing more than half a dozen players last week, several regulars are expected to return to Vancouver91裸聊视频檚 lineup.

Six players are back in the city after spending time with their national teams, including Canadian defender Sam Adekugbe and midfielder Ali Ahmed. Gauld is also back after playing for Scotland, while striker Fafa Picault (Haiti), and midfielders Andres Cubas (Paraguay) and Pedro Vite (Ecuador) have also returned.

The team91裸聊视频檚 latest addition could also play a bigger role come Saturday.

Midfielder Stuart Armstrong saw six minutes of action against Dallas and has been training with his new teammates all week.

The 32-year-old Scotsman is still working his way to full fitness, but has already impressed Sartini with his demeanour on the field.

91裸聊视频淭he calm, how he91裸聊视频檚 collected on the ball under pressure 91裸聊视频� he can make the right decision and make the right pass,91裸聊视频� the coach said. 91裸聊视频淪o that91裸聊视频檚 the first thing that you really appreciate seeing him working.91裸聊视频�
