D.C. United takes on North Carolina FC tonight in the fourth round of the US Open Cup. Ben Olsen typically rotates as many players as possible, to give his starters a rest, and I think that this year will be no exception. However, given the amount of injuries on the team, especially to some key reserves, it looks like some starters will have to take the field.

On the back line, injuries to fullbacks necessitate the starting of Steve Birnbaum and Oniel Fisher, both of whom are starters or who have started recently.
