Sporting Kansas City at Chicago Fire

When: 7:30 p.m. at Toyota Park

Scouting Sporting KC: Sporting (7-2-0, 21 points) opened the season with seven consecutive victories, but its last two matches have been losses. It was winning with defense, having allowed just 5 goals this season, scoring 12. Watch for midfielder Graham Zusi.

Scouting the Fire: This is a good chance for the Fire (3-2-3, 12 points) to show it’s a better than average team. Rookie center back Austin Berry could earn his third consecutive start. Goalkeeper Sean Johnson is coming off his first shutout of the season.
