ShareAshley Westwood has been a crucial part of Charlotte FC's recent rise under Dean Smith, but he acknowledged that trophies are still missing.Ashley Westwood said he has felt more love at Charlotte FC than any other club but insisted he would not be fully satisfied until he lifted a trophy with the Crown.Westwood made the move to Charlotte in January 2023 and has gone on to make 139 appearances across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing 16 assists.He has managed 12 goal contributions (three goals, nine assists) this season, his most since registering 13 in the 2010-11 campaign with Crewe Alexandra, in League Two.However, the former Aston Villa midfielder is yet to land any major silverware since joining Charlotte, though Dean Smith's side have a good chance of ending that this season. Charlotte are fifth in the Eastern Conference and two points behind the Chicago Fire in the table ahead of welcoming FC Dallas to Bank of America Stadium this weekend.And Westwood is determined to finally add a trophy to his cabinet for Charlotte, saying: "Since I've got here, [it's the] best decision that we've made and, thankfully, Zoran [Krneta, general manager] and the club put some faith in me, and I'd like to think I've paid them back. "This is the most love I've ever felt in my career and, I've said it, I won't be happy until I win something here."I came here to build this club and help build it, so I had a determination to stick to my word. [Zoran] showed enormous faith in me signing with one ankle, so that was in my mind. I didn't want to let him down. "I didn't want to, more importantly, let myself down and let the family down. I've moved them all this way, so I can't just move them here and then mess them up again. It was a determination to come back from it."Dallas are also in the mix for silverware this term after signing off for the extended international break with an impressive 1-0 win at home to Los Angeles FC.Osaze Urhoghide scored the only goal in the 34th minute, leaving Eric Quill's side third in the Western Conference and three points behind the leaders, the Vancouver Whitecaps.The Toros have two more away matches after their trip to Charlotte, where they face rivals Houston Dynamo in the Texas Derby and Sporting Kansas City on October 31.PLAYERS TO WATCHCharlotte – Allan Saint-MaximinSaint-Maximin has been key for Charlotte since joining after the World Cup, with the Crown only losing once and averaging two goals per game in his nine appearances.Before his arrival, the team had lost seven of 18 games this season, and Saint-Maximin will be hoping to continue his and Charlotte's fine form here.FC Dallas – Petar MusaOnly Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (21) has scored more goals than Dallas' Musa (18) this season, as the race for the Golden Boot continues to hot up.Musa leads the league with 17 goals inside the box and has the lowest minutes-per-goal ratio this season among players currently in MLS, scoring once every 95 minutes (minimum 600 minutes played).MATCH PREDICTION: CHARLOTTE WINThis will be the first meeting between Charlotte and Dallas in MLS league play.
