With the disappointment from their US Open Cup still lingering in the air, DC United play host to Nashville at Audi Field on Saturday.
The visitors head into the weekend on a run of four consecutive wins in all competitions and will look to continue in the same vein.

Wayne Rooney’s men now turn their attention to the MLS, where they saw their three-match winning streak come to an end on May 7 courtesy of a 2-1 loss against FC Cincinnati.
DC United are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference standings, having picked up 14 points from their opening 11 matches.
Nashville, on the other hand, booked their place in the quarter-finals of the US Open Cup as they picked up a 2-0 win over FC Dallas last time out.
Gary Smith’s side have now won their last four matches across all competitions, including successive victories over Atlanta United and Chicago Fire in the MLS.
With 18 points from 11 matches, Nashville are currently third in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with fourth-placed Atlanta United.
