New York City FC travel to meet the Chicago Fire on Saturday where they will be looking to keep their winning run away from Yankee Stadium going.

NYCFC (4-1-6) are fifth in the East with 18 points and could go third with a win if results go their way.

The Blues have won their last two games away from home after 2-0 wins in Montreal and L.A., which sees them unbeaten in seven games.

Chicago (4-5-4) are ninth with 16 points after 13 games, but could go fifth with a win. The Fire have four wins from seven games at home and are coming off a 4-1 loss away to San Jose, which saw their three-game unbeaten run come to an end.

NYCFC have won three of the last five between the teams, all at Yankee Stadium; most recently a 1-0 win in April this year. The last time they met in Chicago, the Fire were 3-2 winners.
