Preview

Johan Gomez scored the decisive goal last time out as Chicago Fire beat Charlotte FC 1-0 at Bank of America Stadium. That result ended a seven-match winless streak for Gregg Berhalter's side, who have climbed to fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Vancouver Whitecaps travel to Chicago looking to build on a chaotic 3-3 draw at home to DC United in gameweek 27. The visitors remain top of the Western Conference standings but are now only three points clear of an in-form St. Louis City side, albeit with a game in hand.
