All that the Seattle has accomplished in the past six weeks has propelled it into hunt for a Western Conference playoff spot. But with just five matches left in the regular season, the Sounders FC can ill-afford a letdown Wednesday when the Chicago Fire travel to Seattle for a crucial match at CenturyLink Field.Seattle rolls into the game with a full head of steam based on back-to-back wins over Los Angeles and Vancouver and a 5-1-2 record in the past six weeks. That surge has pushed the Sounders FC (11-13-5, 38 points in 29 matches) into seventh place in the Western Conference table.Seattle is three points behind Portland for the final postseason spot in the West, but has played two fewer matches than the Timbers, putting the Sounders FC in a solid position to reach the playoffs. Seattle is 4-0-1 in its past five matches at home.Any movement up the table over the final four weeks for Seattle will have to be accomplished without the services of star forward Clint Dempsey. Garth Lagerwey, the Sounders FC general manager and president of soccer, announced on Tuesday that Dempsey will not return this season as he continues to deal with an irregular heartbeat that was first discovered last month.If we prioritize this now, hopefully we can get Dempsey back in 2017, Lagerwey said via Twitter.Dempsey is the U.S. Mens National Teams second all-time leading goal-scorer and joined the Sounders FC as a designated player in August 2013. He has 34 career goals for Seattle in 72 matches across three-plus seasons, including finding the net eight times this year.In his stead, rookie forward Jordan Morris has carried the offense for Seattle. Morris netted a pair of goals as the Sounders FC won a second consecutive match in a 4-2 victory against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at StubHub Center and has 12 goals for the season, the second-most in a single campaign by a rookie in MLS history.The Fire (6-14-9, with an MLS-low 27 points), will look to play the role of spoiler against Seattle and build toward the 2017 campaign.Chicago, mired in last place in the Eastern Conference, had its winless run extended to three games with a 4-1 loss at New York City FC on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium, a harsh start to a three-game road swing that heads to Seattle and then Columbus on Saturday.Seattle has won six of the teams nine meetings all-time in league play, with three draws, including three victories in a row in the series before a 1-0 Fire win last year at Toyota Park.Playing at home, Seattle has very good support and they feel even more confident, Chicago coach Veljko Paunovic said. Its not necessarily that they are not beatable. They also had earlier in the season their issues, and some weaknesses that we detected. We are going to try to take advantage of it.
