Just one point in their last six games has left the Fire looking at a tough battle to make the postseason - but if anything, that will drive them on further to succeed in finally nabbing a long-awaited victory this weekend.
This could well be one of the final games for highly-rated goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina before a big transfer is finalized, with the shot-stopper widely expected to head to Europe during the coming weeks even if a loan back to MLS remains a possibility.
Projected Chicago Fire FC starting XI: Slonina; M. Navarro, Czichos, Teran, Sekulic; Gimenez, F, Navarro; Mueller, Shaqiri, Offor; Przybylko
| Position | D.C. United roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Romo, Kempin, Hamid, Zamudio |
| Defenders | Samake, Odoi-Atsem, Hines-Ike, Smith, Najar, Birnbaum, Sargis, Pines, Gressel, Greene, Hope-Gund, Alfaro, Guediri |

D.C. have struggled for traction during the shift into the summer months, with just two points from their last five games.
But if the winds of change are hanging in the air, perhaps they can make it stick with a result on the road against the Fire.
Projected D.C. United starting XI: Hamid; Sargis, Birnbaum, Alfaro; B. Smith, Djeffal, Skundrich, Gressel; Fountas, Kamara, Flores
