Sporting Kansas City will look to get back to their winning ways when they face a suddenly ascendant Chicago Fire as the clubs face off Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park before an ESPN2 audience. Sporting have gone three games without a victory, coming back for a wild 4-4 draw last weekend at the Houston Dynamo. The Fire returned from a long layoff and won their third game on the trot last time out, netting the game’s only goal in a win against New York City FC.
