BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – After a tough start to the season, the Chicago Fire have shown signs of life in recent weeks, heading into Saturday’s home match against New York City FC (7 PM CT, ESPN+) unbeaten in their last four in MLS and in their last six in all competitions.
Aleksandar Katai, whose future in the club hangs in the balance with his loan from La Liga club Alaves set to expire on Sunday, has been one of the driving factors in Chicago’s uptick, recording a goal or assist in his last seven league games, tying a club record.
