D.C. United will be looking to climb further up the Eastern Conference standings tonight as they host the Chicago Fire. Coming off of a 1-1 draw against the Red Bulls that probably should have been a win, United will be looking to compound the recent tough times for the Fire, who have lost three of their last four and are in desperate need of wins if they’re going to stage a late playoff push.
Key player: Paul Arriola
United has made a strong habit of starting extremely fast at home, and Chicago is coming off of a game where they were down 2-0 after six minutes.
