DC United

Philadelphia Union and DC United face each other at Subaru Park in the closing match of Sunday’s program in the Major League Soccer. The U’s aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over New York City and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against DC United. Both Andre Blake and Isaiah LeFlore are out of contention with injuries for the home team.

The capital club, on the other hand, are hit by Christian Benteke’s suspension and his absence is the main reason why we are going to build on the home side. Experienced midfielder Pedro Santos is banned for the match as well, further weaking DC United’s chances to grab something from Sunday’s showdown. All Akinmboni, Antley, Bartlett, Canouse, Hopkins, and Schnegg are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Theodore Ku-DiPietro is pushing for a start.
