Philadelphia Union aim to go top of MLS' Eastern Conference when they host struggling DC United in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Union have lost just two of their 18 games this season, the lowest total in MLS and a win against one of the worst teams in the division will see them move a point clear at the top of the table.

DC United meanwhile come into the game having ended their six-match winless streak last time out with a thrilling 5-3 success at Orlando City.

Philadelphia Union vs DC United preview
That the Union are one of the leading sides in the Eastern Conference is down to their superb defensive record which has seen them concede just 13 goals in 18 games, the lowest total across both conferences by some distance.
They should be able to keep things tight once more against one of the poorest teams in the division, with the Union boasting an exceptional record in this fixture.
The Philadelphia outfit have won each of their last six home MLS clashes against their rivals from Washington DC and backing another home win this weekend makes plenty of sense.
