The MLS returns with a fresh set of fixtures as New England Revolution play host to Charlotte FC at the Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
The Revs head into the game on a five-game losing streak across competitions and will look to end this dry spell.
New England were left empty-handed once again, as they fell to a disappointing 3-2 defeat against strugglers Inter Miami. They have now lost their last five games across competitions, dating back to a 3-0 win over Pumas UNAM in the CONCACAF Champions League in March.
With four points from their opening six games, the Revs are 13th in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with 12th-placed New York City FC and rock-bottom Inter Miami.
Meanwhile, Charlotte returned to winning ways last time out as they edged out Atlanta United 1-0 on home turf. Before that, the newcomers suffered a 2-0 defeat against Philadelphia Union on April 3 that saw their two-match winning run come to an end.
Charlotte are fifth in the East after picking up nine points from their opening seven games so far.
