"Completely blown away when they travelled to Philadelphia last time out as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming, Chicago are desperately seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, confident of dusting themselves down when they return to Illinois in the early hours of Sunday, Gregg Berhalter's side will be confident of skyrocketing into the play-off places this weekend. Losing just one of their previous six MLS appearances, the Reds have also continued to shine with their performances on home soil."
"Making an immediate return to losing ways last time out as they signed off August with a 2-1 defeat at home against Charlotte, New England have drastically struggled to find any kind of stability. Getting Sunday's trip to Illinois underway sat nine points adrift of breaking into the play-off places, Sunday's guests have lost five of their previous seven MLS appearances - a run that stems back to a 0-0 stalemate against Austin on July 17th."
Chicago Fire slumped 4-0 at Philadelphia but seek an immediate response back in Illinois. Gregg Berhalter's side has lost just one of their previous six MLS matches and performs strongly at Soldier Field. Chicago beat St. Louis City 3-2 on August 17 and collected seven points from their last three home MLS fixtures. The Reds have suffered only one home defeat since the end of June and look positioned to challenge for a playoff spot. New England Revolution lost 2-1 to Charlotte and have lost five of their previous seven MLS matches. The Revolution sit nine points outside the playoff places and have just two wins from their last 13 MLS outings, increasing pressure on coach Caleb Porter.
