A number of factors combine to make this one of the biggest games of the season for Toronto FC.
After a tough week on the road, Toronto FC is coming home today to face DC United. The match marks the start of their second four-game homestand of the year. It's a stretch where Toronto will be looking for maximum points, and questions will be asked if they don't come close.
It is also a crucial game for the MLS standings, as United currently sit in 7th place in the MLS Eastern Conference, two points behind Toronto FC.
