PHILADELPHIA UNION vs. D.C. UNITED
PPL PARK, Chester, Penn.
May 17, 2015 (Week 11, MLS Game #109)
7 pm ET (Fox Sports 1, FOX Deportes)

A pair of clubs riding completely opposite streaks meet when Philadelphia Union play host to D.C. United on Sunday evening at PPL Park before a FOX Sports 1 audience. Union are in the throes of a club-record equaling four-game losing streak, returning home following a 3-0 defeat at Vancouver Whitecaps FC. United extended their current undefeated run to eight games – their longest in nearly eight years – following a midweek 2-1 come-from-behind victory against Orlando City SC at RFK Stadium.

• Philadelphia Union saw their winless streak reach five games with a fourth consecutive defeat in a 3-0 loss at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday.
• Jairo Arrieta scored his second goal for United in their 1-1 home draw with Sporting KC last weekend, his first since hitting for the lone goal in the season-opening win vs. the Montréal Impact on March 7.
• United won both meetings between the teams a year ago, both by 1-0 scorelines, winning May 10 at PPL Park, then Sept. 27 at RFK Stadium.
• The teams have also met each of the last three seasons in the U.S. Open Cup, with United advancing on two occasions, including in a 3-1 fourth-round victory a year ago.
