DC United and Philadelphia Union both finished 2016 with respectable seasons and the belief that they’d enter 2017 with conference contending teams. However, three games into the season, DC United finds itself at the bottom of the conference table with Philadelphia one spot above it. Both teams enter this game with the need for a victory and players who should be able to step up and provide the spark needed for a win for their team.
Who to watch from DC United
DC United is going to be without its star striker in Patrick Mullins, but is not toothless with backup striker Jose Ortiz, an international player for Costa Rica.
