After two games at home, Toronto FC travelled to Chicago to face the Fire at Soldier field. This game was an absolute must-win for the reds, if they were to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Both teams came into this one towards the bottom of the conference, with Chicago sitting in 12th and Toronto in 13th. TFC are in better form though, as they are unbeaten in 3 games against very solid opposing sides. Historically, Toronto has been good against Chicago as well and are unbeaten in 11 games between the two teams.
Javier Perez was forced to make a late change as fullback Justin Morrow was originally in the XI, but was unable to start.
