Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the the Toronto FC and D.C. United. The first-division clash scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET will be held at BMO Field in Toronto and can be live streamed here.

Toronto FC responded to the hype surrounding their busy offseason. The club was dominant in a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders in Week 2. Now, a return home for the opener at BMO Field awaits in Week 3. Even D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen is aware of the challenge facing his club in Toronto (h/t to Pablo Maurer on MLS's official website). "[The hype is] real, and it's there for a reason," Olsen told MLSsoccer.com after his squad's training session on Wednesday morning. "It's because of their players. I think [Bradley] is a guy any coach in this league would love to have," he added.

"The on-field stuff, and what he brings from a leadership standpoint - he's a guy that I would think anybody would want."

A result is all anybody would want in Week 3, but which club will capture it when the final whistle blows? Tell us @SportsWN

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Toronto FC's Jermain Defoe earned every bit of his multi-million dollar salary in Week 2. It took all of 24 minutes for the 31-year-old to secure the first brace of his MLS career. He'll look to add more in Toronto's home opener this afternoon.

Toronto FC's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Cesár; Morrow, Caldwell, Henry, Bloom; Jackson, Bradley, Osorio, Rey; De Rosario, Defoe

D.C. United's Projected Lineup (4-1-2-1-2): Hamid; Cristian, Parke, Boswell, Franklin; Kitchen, DeLeon, Arnaud, Silva; Espindola, Johnson
