🗞️ Team News: Chicago Fire

We are thinking that Men in Red will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system and select Gabriel Slonina, Boris Sekulic, Carlos Terán, Rafael Czichos, M. Ángel Navarro, Federico Navarro, Gastón Giménez, Chinonso Offor, Xherdan Shaqiri, Chris Mueller and Kacper Przybylko.

📋 Team News: D.C. United

In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the D.C. United boss Chad Ashton to be concerned about. Andy Nájar (Hamstring Injury) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Black-and-Red appear most likely to play in a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Bill Hamid, Hayden Sargis, Steve Birnbaum, Tony Alfaro, Julian Gressel, Drew Skundrich, Sofiane Djeffal, Brad Smith, Taxiarchis Fountas, Ola Kamara and Edison Flores.
