Watch DC United Vs. Philadelphia Union Live Stream: MLS Eastern Conference Top 4 Battle, Start Time, Preview

Two of the top four teams in the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference meet on Sunday in a match that could produce a three-way tie at the top of the east, if DC United manages a victory. Unfortunately, when DC faces one of the two teams tied at the top of the east table, the Philadelphia Union, they come in on a run of sluggish form, as documented by Soccerway.

The team is without a goal in their previous two league matches, sandwiched around an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of French side Olympique Marseilles in a club friendly. United will need Captain Wayne Rooney — the former England striker who has tallied 11 goals in 22 games this season — to regain his scoring touch in the match that will live stream from the nation’s capital.

As for United, though they need to win on Sunday, help appears to be on the way. The club is readying a $2.5 million transfer fee to extract Norway international and former L.A. Galaxy forward Ola Kamara from Chinese Super League team Shenzhen FC — the second most expensive transfer in the history of the DC organization, according to The Washington Post.
