DC United striker Christian Benteke remains a doubt for this match as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury sustained against New York City FC earlier this month.

If Benteke is unavailable, Jacob Murrell may lead the line for DC United, supported by versatile attackers Hosei Kijima and Joao Peglow in Lesesne's forward setup.

For New England Revolution, manager Caleb Porter is expected to have a mostly fit squad, with Ignatius Ganago and Tomas Chancalay likely starting as the forward pair, and Carles Gil playing in an attacking midfield role behind them.

In midfield, Matt Polster and Alhassan Yusuf will aim to provide stability, while wing-backs Ilay Feingold and Peyton Miller add width on the flanks.

At the back, a defensive trio of Brayan Ceballos, Mamadou Fofana, and Tanner Beason must contain one of the league's least effective attacks to help their team return to form this week.

DC United possible starting lineup:

Barraza; Tubbs, Bartlett, Rowles; Herrera, Servania, Enow, Schnegg; Kijima, Peglow; Murrell

New England Revolution possible starting lineup:

Ivacic; Ceballos, Fofana, Beason; Feingold, Polster, Yusuf, Miller; Gil; Ganago, Chancalay
