The Union celebrate after a goal against Kansas City

It’s not just that the Union can’t lose, it’s that they can’t let KC win. Another tough test for the boys in navy and gold as they travel to Livestrong Park and face a revitalized Sporting side with a shot at first place in the East on the line.

The Union blew through the Revs at Gillette Stadium in July. But this New England team has their captain back, and some new faces to help him out. Meanwhile, Philly will give Zac MacMath his full debut in front of a raucous PPL Park crowd. [Update: Brian Carroll now listed as probable]

Preview: Philadelphia Union at Chicago Fire

Quench the Fire

The Union look to rebound quickly from disappointment, while Chicago’s focus is elsewhere. Not a good idea for a last place team. It has all the makings of a Union romp, but can Danny Mwanga and Sebastien Le Toux finish their chances?
