Sunday morning's MLS action sees New England Revolution welcome Atlanta United to Gillette Stadium, where the hosts will be aiming to strengthen their place in the Eastern Conference playoff positions.

New England head into Saturday's contest sitting fourth in the Eastern Conference after collecting 26 points from 15 matches.
Approximately 85% of those points have come at Gillette Stadium, highlighting a campaign built on an outstanding home record, with only Nashville (25) earning more points on their own ground than the Revs' 22 in the MLS regular season.
However, New England have won only one of their last three matches at the venue, the latest ending in a goalless draw against Toronto FC in midweek, while the other setback during that run was a 3-0 defeat to Nashville SC.
Interestingly, those encounters are the only home league games in which the Revs have failed to score this season, although they have remained defensively solid by limiting opponents to one goal or fewer in five of their last six matches across all venues.
Atlanta United, meanwhile, have endured a disappointing campaign and begin the weekend 14th in the conference after managing just three wins from 16 league matches to collect 12 points.
Gerardo Martino's side have suffered a joint conference-high 10 defeats and head into this weekend's fixture without a victory in their last five MLS matches (D2, L3) and six across all competitions.
The Five Stripes' most recent outing was a 2-2 draw away at Charlotte, where they recovered from a two-goal first-half deficit to earn a point.
While that spirited comeback should provide encouragement ahead of this weekend's visit to New England, Atlanta have lost five of their eight league matches on the road this season, with no Eastern Conference side scoring fewer than their five away goals.

Whispers predicts: New England Revolution 2-0 Atlanta United
New England look well placed to claim all three points at 21/20 (2.05) given their outstanding home record and dominant recent meetings with Atlanta United, while the visitors' attacking struggles on the road make Both teams to score – No an attractive option at 6/5 (2.20).
Gil also stands out in the anytime goalscorer market at 2/1 (3.00) after finding the net four times in his last five home MLS appearances, and he should enjoy opportunities against an Atlanta side that has conceded in each of their eight away league matches this season.
Meanwhile, a correct score of 2-0 in favour of New England at 9/1 (10.00) also appeals, given Atlanta have failed to score in five of their eight away league fixtures this campaign.
