Ladies and gentlemen, the reins have been handed to 17-year-old Andy Najar, who will make his second MLS start in the center of midfield for D.C. United tonight, as it desperately tries to get its offense going.
But defense – whose absences include Dejan Jakovic (red card suspension), Juan Manuel Peña (hamstring), Clyde Simms (hamstring) – will be even more important.
DCU lineup: Perkins, McTavish, James, Talley, Wallace, Pontius, Morsink, Najar, Quaranta, Moreno (captain), Allsopp.
Chicago lineup: [Woodbridge native GK] Andrew Dykstra, Krol, Conde, Brown, Robinson, Mapp, Husidic, Lowry, Nyarko, Pappa, John.
Brian McBride will begin the night on the bench.
