The Philadelphia Union drew with Toronto FC last Saturday, but they still managed to stay at the top of MLS following FC Cincinnati’s loss to Charlotte FC.

The Union will travel up the turnpike to face the New York Red Bulls for the second time this week. Both clubs faced off on Wednesday in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup at Subaru Park, with the Union picking up a 3-2 win. The Union have had the Red Bulls’ number for years now, and they’ll look to continue the trend.

Out in the west, we have a Texas rivalry on deck Saturday night with Austin FC taking on FC Dallas. Austin is sitting seventh in the Western Conference with 34 points, and FC Dallas is in 11th with 28 points, looking to climb into a playoff spot.

The Premier League is also back, making this a full-packed weekend of action.
