The team won against Montreal at home and now they have the chance to keep things going, but they have a tough test with United now on Sunday. DC comes in after losing away at the LA Galaxy and after playing against NY they have a tough matchup with the Vancouver Whitecaps and that is another trip out west.
The Eastern conference still has DC United on top and leading Sporting Kansas City and they are holding a one point lead over the team, while those two are ahead by a wide margin.

This is the second time that the teams are playing and the first game was a win for DC at home and now they have another game. The teams have played quite a bit over the years and DC comes in after their two game winning streak ended against the Galaxy and they allowed four goals in that game on the road, but they were able to stay atop the MLS standings in the east.
