Chicago Fire host Cincinnati at Soldier Field in the MLS on Sunday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

The Chicago Fire have had a woeful start to the season and are currently bottom of the Eastern Conference. Ezra Hendrickson's side have been in terrible form of late and are winless in their last seven games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, on the other hand, are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, three points behind Philadelphia at the top of the table. Pat Noonan's side crashed out of the Open Cup with a 5-1 loss against New England in midweek. They will look to bounce back with a win against Chicago on Sunday.
