New England Revolution take on Columbus Crew this weekend

The MLS returns to the fold with another set of fixtures this weekend as New England Revolution lock horns with Columbus Crew on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.

Chicago Fire are in 12th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Toronto FC earlier this month and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

New England Revolution, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have excelled this year. The hosts eased past CF Montreal in their previous game and will want to step up in this match.

Lots on the table through these last five matches - what should the #NERevs be prioritizing?
