Preview
Chicago head into this after 2-0 loss to Houston in their previous clash on Sunday. This was their 4th defeat in the last 6 matches leaving them at the bottom of the table.
With just 14 points from 16 matches, Chicago is in dire straits and hope to arrest the poor run of form by moving up the table.
On the other hand, Philadelphia beat NYCFC 2-1 at home to displace them at the top of the table.
Uhre and Burke scored for the hosts while Castellanos found the net for New York City. This victory was essential to jump to the top of the table after successive draws in their earlier matches.
Now, Philadelphia has to consolidate with another performance to maintain their top of the table status.
With 29 points from 16 matches, the visitors have the chance to extend their lead at the top to 5 points.
Both sides last met in August 2021, where Philadelphia drew 1-1 at home.
