Two of the Eastern Conference's top clubs meet for the first time this season, when New York City FC host the Chicago Fire at Yankee Stadium in a match that could ultimately sway the Supporters' Shield race. Toronto FC (39 points) just re-took the top spot with a Wednesday draw vs. NYCFC, with Chicago a point back and New York City trailing by four.

The visitors enter the match unbeaten since April 29, a streak that has now extended to 11 league matches, a pair of four-game winning streaks bracketed by draws; their most recent contest a 2-2 tie with Portland back on July 5.
