Looking at recent form at home, DC united has a win and a draw to their name, but haven't played any games at home in the month of July. However, their last 5 games suggest they are in a bit of a slump, winning only 1, drawing 1, and losing three games. On Sunday, if anyone watched or saw the highlights, the end of the game vs. Philadelphia was unreal. The last 10 minutes or so was absolute chaos. Having a goal taken away which should of counted. Re-doing an already scored penalty kick to only go miss it, and fights amongst teammates. Not to mention a couple red cards were given out as well. Branko Boskevic, who was subbed in changed the attacking game completely, setting up the 1 goal for DC United. However, he was one of the players who were shown the red card. Also, Emiliano Ariel Dudar received a red card as well.
On the other side, Chicago has managed to get 2 wins 2 ties, losing just once in their last 5 on the road. Overall, a 3-1-1 record in their last 5, they prove to be a tough team to play against, even when they are on the road.
This is the first time the the teams meet this season, but looking back over the past two seasons, DC United was unable to beat Chicago once in four tries.

Notice DC lost both games they played at home.
With a starting defender missing out, and one of their best midfielders not able to play, I'm liking my chances siding with Chicago.

During the offseason, Chelsea were the biggest spenders in Barclays, laying nearly 70 million on 3 new players. One proved to already have a big impact in the club, Eden Hazard setting up both goals this past weekend at Wigan. Reading, who managed to score a 90th minute penalty goal, were happy to walk about with a point after their first home game. The Blues will be missing Marin due to an injury, but Ramires will be making his return. For Reading midfielder Jem Karacan will miss out after failing to recover from a leg injury, striker Jason Roberts misses out due to suspension, and new goalkeeper Stuart Taylor will unlikely start this tie amongst the clubs.
Reading, along with Wigan, have been ranked by many to be one of the possible teams that are relegated at seasons end. Chelsea, who knocked off Wigan on the road 2-0, can do much of the same here tomorrow.
