| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Chicago was on a four-game winning streak prior to Friday's loss to Sporting Kansas City.
- That loss was just the club's second in its last 10 matches.
- A win over SKC would have clinched a playoff spot for the club, however, a win over the Union will not be enough to seal a place in the postseason.
- Philadelphia has not won in its last six road matches.
- The Union's playoff hopes ended over the weekend with a loss to the Columbus Crew.
