We can now report our experts’ predicted sides and ins and outs for Sunday’s upcoming MLS clash.
Chicago Fire will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 0-1 MLS loss in their previous game against Charlotte FC. It seems likely that Men in Red look set to go for a 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Chris Brady, Arnaud Souquet, Carlos Terán, Rafael Czichos, Andrew Gutman, Federico Navarro, Kellyn Acosta, Brian Gutierrez, Xherdan Shaqiri, Chris Mueller and Hugo Cuypers.
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Chicago Fire boss Frank Klopas to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Chase Gasper is sidelined.
How Chicago Fire might line up vs Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew come into this meeting following a 1-3 MLS win with the eclipse of Montreal Impact in their most recent fixture. We reckon that The Crew appear most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 formation, giving starts to Patrick Schulte, Steven Moreira, Rudy Camacho, Yevgen Cheberko, Max Arfsten, Aidan Morris, Darlington Nagbe, Yaw Yeboah, Alexandru Matan, Diego Rossi and Christian Ramirez.
Thanks to a fully healthy group available for selection, Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy has zero fitness worries to report coming into this game.
