Orlando City and Chicago Fire will both be looking to move away from the bottom of the Eastern Conference table when they lock horns on Saturday night.
These two teams are sitting in 14th and 13th place, respectively, and are in danger of dropping to last place if they lose at Inter&Co Stadium.
Orlando managed a 2-2 draw in Charlotte on Wednesday after going up a man in the 38th minute thanks to a straight red to Charlotte's Scott Arfield. The Fire, meanwhile, secured their biggest win of the season last Saturday, beating a depleted Toronto FC side 4-1.
