Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between Toronto FC and the Philadelphia Union. The first-division clash scheduled for 2 p.m. ET will be held at BMO Field in Toronto and can be live streamed here. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
Toronto FC head coach Greg Vanney had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via MLS's official website): "I thought the team put out a great effort [against Philadelphia on Wednesday], first of all. I thought we worked hard from the beginning all the way through to the end. I can't fault the effort from the guys; it's been an emotional couple days and they laid it all on the field."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Sebastien Le Toux has enjoyed an MVP-type campaign in 2014. The 30-year-old enters today's match with 11 goals and five assists. He'll look to continue carrying the Union to the playoffs.
Toronto FC's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Bendik; Morrow, Henry, Hagglund, Bloom; Oduro, Warner, Bradley, Osorio; Moore, Gilberto
Philadelphia Union's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): M'Bohli; Gaddis, Edu, White, Williams; Carroll, Okugo; Le Toux, Maidana, Wenger; Casey
