Coming off their second win of the season, D.C. United will travel to Chicago this weekend to try and start a streak against the Fire. United will have to do so without their highest paid player, Fabian Espindola, who injured himself taking a long-range shot last week. The replacements did well, but it leads to a plethora of options after a couple weeks where Ben Olsen stuck with the same group.
The main focus is on the forward pairing, with two of Chris Rolfe, Alvaro Saborio, and Luciano Acosta set to start.
