Chicago Fire host New England Revolution at the Soldier Field Stadium on Saturday for a clash in the MLS, looking to end their long winless run.
After winning five times in six games between June and July this year, Chicago have failed to win any of their next six, losing five, as the side has witnessed a precipitous fall from grace.
This downturn in form has seen them drop to 11th in the Eastern Conference table with 33 points from 29 games, while interim manager Frank Klopas is feeling the heat.
He replaced head coach Ezra Hendrickson in May, but if Chicago's results don't improve, the Greek could face the same consequences sooner rather than later.
