- WHEN: Wednesday, 10:45 pm ET
The winner of this Matchday 27 headliner likely takes the Western Conference lead. LAFC (first) and Real Salt Lake (second) enter midweek action tied on a conference-best 43 points, only separated by the wins tiebreaker.
For LAFC, that means rebounding from last Saturday's MLS Cup rematch, when a 5-1 home defeat to the Columbus Crew ended their 10-game unbeaten run. For RSL, it's getting a bounce-back result after their 3-0 defeat at the Portland Timbers.
One important programming note: RSL are without star striker Chicho Arango, who begins a four-game suspension. That could give the edge to LAFC's dynamic duo of Denis Bouanga and Mateusz Bogusz, though RSL young-guns Diego Luna and Andrés Gómez also pose serious danger.
FC Cincinnati vs. Chicago Fire FC

One point ahead of Inter Miami CF in the tight Supporters' Shield race, FC Cincinnati have a golden opportunity to chase repeat honors when hosting Chicago Fire FC.
But Cincy, led by reigning MVP Luciano Acosta, have a surprising four losses at TQL Stadium this season after Saturday's 3-1 upset defeat to Charlotte FC. And they'll have to cope without Olympics-bound center back Miles Robinson, who was red-carded in that match.
Chicago, down at 14th place in the Eastern Conference, will look to play spoiler. Any result likely hinges on a big-time performance from DP striker Hugo Cuypers, their club-record signing who has 9g/1a in his maiden MLS campaign.
Minnesota United FC vs. D.C. United

It's been a difficult season for D.C. United, but they're coming off a 2-1 home win over Nashville SC that snapped an 11-match winless streak. Christian Benteke remains second in the Golden Boot presented by Audi race, having tallied 14g/3a before this trip to Allianz Field.
Meanwhile, Minnesota are riding an eight-game winless streak whereby Eric Ramsay's team hasn't earned the full three points since June 1 vs. Sporting Kansas City. Perhaps the anticipated return of forward Tani Oluwaseyi and goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair can change that after they represented Canada at Copa América 2024.
