Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City. The first-division clash scheduled for 3 p.m. ET will be held at Toyota Park and can be live streamed here.

After earning their first victory of the season last week—a stunning 5-4 goal-fest against the New York Red Bulls—the Chicago Fire will attempt to kick start their season with back-to-back wins. In order to do so, they'll have to take down another reigning title holder in MLS (h/t to Shane Murray on MLS's official website). "Everyone's talking about the players they have out and it sends the message that it's going to be easy for us," Yallop told MLSsoccer.com on Saturday.

"It's not going to be easy. It's a tough game. We've just got to play our normal game going forward, which is creating chances and keeping them off the scoreboard, and that will be our main focus, to stop leaking goals," he added.

"We've just got to build on what we did last week. Obviously the win was huge and if we can put that together with another win in this game, it will kick start our season."
