Quite a bit has happened since the last time the Chicago Fire played FC Dallas in a regular season MLS match. The Fire have changed stadiums once, and changed logos twice since that last matchup in September 2019 in Bridgeview. Oh, and there was a global pandemic, too.
But, alas, these two teams will finally do battle again for the Brimstone Cup before a national TV audience on TUDN and Univision (2:30 p.m. CT).
Both teams come into the match relatively healthy, albeit with key players just returning from international duty. Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland), Boris Sekuliu0107 (Slovakia), Miguel Navarro (Venezuela), and Brian Gutierrez and Chris Brady (USA U-20s) are all back and healthy for Chicago, and Jesus Ferriera and Paul Arriola are back with Dallas after helping the USMNT qualify for the World Cup.
