One of the fiercest rivalries in Major League Soccer begins anew on MLS Primetime Thursday when the New England Revolution entertain D.C. United. Twice in the last four years the clubs have met for a spot in the MLS Cup Final, and split those encounters, both in the nation's capital. They meet this year at opposite ends of the league table: the Revolution are in a three-way tie atop the league and Eastern Conference standings, while United are at the foot of the East with the third-fewest points in the league.
