New England Revolution will host Philadelphia Union at the Gillette Stadium on Monday in an MLS Eastern Conference matchup. Forward Adam Buska led from the front as New England Revolution overcame the threat posed by Montreal Impact when the two sides clashed in midweek, beating them 3-2.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia Union, who sit at second on the Eastern Conference standings and have already clinched a place in the playoffs, were held to a 2-2 draw by a struggling DC United. Mark McKenzie and Anthony Fontana scored for the Philadelphia Union who are now unbeaten in three games.
New England Revolution will be looking to close the gap with Orlando City who are three points ahead and have a game in hand. As such, Bruce Arena's side will try their very best to ensure they keep their good form in tact and make it three wins in three games against one of the best sides from this MLS season.
