Chicago Fire scouting report
Chicago Fire at Columbus Crew
When: 7 p.m. today at Crew Stadium
TV: Fox Soccer Channel
Scouting the Fire: The Fire (4-3-5, 17 points) not only has to recover from playing 120 minutes Tuesday as well as some accumulating injuries, it also has to recover from the shock of losing to a third-division team in the U.S. Open Cup's third round. John Thorrington and Tim Ward remain out, and Justin Mapp and Baggio Husidic could miss this match too.
Scouting the Crew: The Crew (7-2-3, 24 points) leads the Eastern Conference again, and again Guillermo Barros Schelotto is a big reason why. He leads the club with 5 goals and 4 assists.
Next: Real Salt Lake at Toyota Park, 8:30 p.m. Thursday
