Riding an emotional high from a stirring 1-0 midweek win in the U.S. Open Cup at Atlanta, the Fire are back to the grind in the MLS regular season this weekend.
Level on points with Orlando City SC for the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference, Chicago (5-7-4, 19 points) is in the midst of a stretch that sees them play three road games against Western Conference foes in a span of four outings. For this week, that means venturing to Seattle's CenturyLink Field to take on a Sounders squad eager to begin a climb up the table and restore their place among the best in the West.
