Fresh off the back of crashing out of the US Open Cup, New England Revolution will play host to Philadelphia Union at the Gillette Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors will head into the game seeking to get one over the Revs, having failed to win the last four meetings between the two teams.
New England were sent packing from the US Open Cup on Wednesday, as they fell to a slender 1-0 loss away at New York City FC.
They now turn their attention to the MLS, where they are on a four-game unbeaten run, picking up two wins and two draws since a 3-2 loss at DC United in April. With 15 points from 12 games, the Revs are ninth in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with tenth-placed Inter Miami.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia returned to winning ways last time out, as they saw off Portland Timbers 2-0 away from home.
Before that, the U were on a run of seven games without a win across competitions, picking up five draws and losing two. Philadelphia head into the weekend unbeaten in three away games, picking up one win and two draws since a 2-1 defeat to Toronto FC on April 17.
