The Chicago Fire are back in action on Saturday night with a trip to New Jersey to take on the Montreal Impact.
Coming out of back-to-back wins last week against the Houston Dynamo and Atlanta United at home, head coach Raphael Wicky's side will look to ride their wave of momentum into the weekend's Eastern Conference road trip. Both the Fire (4-7-3, 15 pts.) and the Impact (5-8-1, 16 pts.) sit above the playoff line entering the match, but will covet an additional three points to improve their standing.
With kickoff from Red Bull Arena an hour away on WGN and ESPN+, take a look at how Wicky will deploy his side against Thierry Henry's Impact this evening:
- The Fire will begin with one change from the lineup that earned back-to-back victories against Houston and Atlanta last week: defender Miguel Navarro returns to the starting XI in place of Jonathan Bornstein.
