Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Montreal Impact and D.C. United. The first-division clash scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET will be held at Stade Saputo in Montreal and can be live streamed here.

After snapping their three-match winless streak, the Montreal Impact enter today's match looking to continue the momentum against D.C. United. There's still a mountain to climb in order for the club to escape the eastern cellar, but head coach Frank Klopas believes his men took the proper first step agains the New England Revolution.

"This is only the first step. We still have a lot of work to do," said Klopas (via MLS's official website). "The chances we created were through buildup and movement. It wasn't luck. The performance was good, but it could always get better," he added.

"This isn't a team that should be where it's at right now, it's better than that."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: D.C. United's Chris Rolfe has been a stalwart midfielder since joining the club. In 10 appearances with United, Rolfe has three goals and two assists, but has served as a versatile piece in head coach Ben Olsen's formation. His ability to play wide (left) and up top has allowed Fabian Espindola to drop deeper, collect the ball and spring United's attack.

Montreal Impact's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Perkins; Ouimette, Lefevre, Pearce, Camara; Farran, Bernier, Bernardello, Mapp; Vaio, McInerney

D.C. United's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hamid; Fernandez, Parke, Boswell, Korb; Rolfe, Kitchen, Arnaud, DeLeon; Johnson Espindola
