Top Three Storylines for MLS Week 5
Like in the NHL that has 'original six' matchups, this fixture features DC United hosting the New England Revolution, who have been battling it out since the MLS' inception in 1996. On paper, it might not be the sexiest matchup, but from a pure rivalry standpoint, it is a match worth tuning into. Since MLS' inaugural season, DC United has had the bigger trophy collection with four MLS Cups, while the New England Revolution have been the bridesmaids in MLS, finishing as runners-up five times. In their previous 33 head-to-head matches, the Revolution own the matchup winning 15 times versus DC United's 11 wins. This is a fixture that hasn't seen a draw in the last eight meetings.
