With the international break over, MLS fans can get to watch their favorite clubs going at it for one more weekend with their best players at their disposal.
The maiden season of the dominant St. Louis SC has started to break several records for a new team. Their 4-0 win away from home last week shows that the new club in town means business, and now they are ready to be considered title contenders following their massive start of the campaign.
On the other conference in this league, the battle for the top spot will continue between the New England Revolution and Cincinnati FC. Both of them will enjoy home-field advantage this week, which will give them no excuses in regards to their fans' giving them the much-needed support to claim the No.1 place in the Eastern Conference.
Without further ado, here's what you should keep in mind before Matchweek Six gets underway.

Atlanta United ace named Player of the Month
There was hardly any debate on who deserved the award more than Argentine international Thiago Almada, who earned the POTM award with his impressive display during the first weeks of action in this MLS season.
Almada's form this month was only slowed down by the international break, which prevented him from playing this week after his call up to La Albiceleste's friendlies in Argentina.
Unstoppable since Matchday 1.

Seattle Sounders' playmaker unmoved by lack of contract extension talks
It has been a great start of the year for the Rave Green, and one of their main men out there has been captain Nicolas Lodeiro. Nevertheless, the footballer's deal with the CONCACAF Champions League winners in 2022 is about to expire. With that in mind, one could expect Lodeiro to get a bit uneasy about his deal coming to an end, but the South American footballer has other things to think about.
"I try not to think about that. What I want is to enjoy the day-to-day. Let the club decide – truthfully, they know that whenever they want they can sit and talk to me. I want to play well, help the team on and off the field, be a leader, be an example," the Uruguayan star told MLS' website.
