Two teams in contrasting positions in the MLS go toe-to-toe on Sunday as rock-bottom Toronto FC host league leaders New England Revolution at the BMO Field Stadium.

Toronto FC failed to rise from the bottom of the Western Conference table last Sunday as they played out a 2-2 draw with New York City FC.

It was a tale of two halves as the visitors raced to a two-goal lead heading into the halftime break. However, strikes from Richie Laryea and Alejandro Puzuelo helped Toronto force a share of the spoils.

This followed last Tuesday’s humbling 3-0 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park Stadium.

Having struggled for most of the season, the Reds head into Sunday’s encounter in resurgent form. They are unbeaten in six of their last seven outings, picking up 10 points in that time.

However, after claiming just five points from their opening 11 games, Javier Perez’s men are currently rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

Meanwhile, New England Revolution returned to winning ways last time out as they claimed a 2-1 win over Philadelphia Union.

Paxten Aaronson canceled out Matt Polster’s opener on the half-hour mark, but Gustavo Bou rebounded home his saved spot-kick to restore the Revs’ lead eight minutes later.

The visitors are in the driver’s seat for their first-ever title victory as they sit at the top of the league standings with 40 points from 19 games.
