The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Philadelphia Union and Charlotte FC square off at Subaru Park on Wednesday.
Jim Curtin’s men head into the midweek clash on a seven-match unbeaten run and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Philadelphia Union continued their surge to the top of the Eastern Conference table as they picked up a 3-1 victory over New York City FC on Saturday.
Curtin’s side have now won all but one of their last six matches, with a goalless draw against DC United on May 18 being the exception.
This fine run of form has seen Philadelphia Union rise to fourth place in the East after picking up 24 points from their 14 matches so far.
Elsewhere, Charlotte FC returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out 10-man LA Galaxy 1-0 at Dignity Health Sports Park.
Prior to that, the Crown were on a run of two back-to-back defeats, including a shock 1-0 loss to USL Championship side Birmingham Legion FC in the US Open Cup on May 25.
Christian Lattanzio’s side have picked up 21 points from their 15 matches to sit sixth in the Eastern Conference table.
