WHAT’S UP: The Revs own a 7-1-5 mark in its last 13 season debuts at Gillette Stadium. ... Sporting Director and Head Coach Bruce Arena is 13-4-4 all-time mark against Chicago Fire FC, and his team had a 5-1-3 record at Gillette Stadium in 2019. ... Andrew Farrell will surpass Chris Tierney (19,422) for fourth-most minutes played in Revolution history. ... Teal Bunbury needs two goals to tie Shalrie Joseph and Pat Noonan for sixth on the club's goal-scoring list at 37. ... Chicago was minutes from a positive result in their season opener, before Jordan Morris struck for the stoppage-time winner at CenturyLink Field on Sunday. After having two goals called back for offside, Fire FC took the lead one minute into the second half on Robert Beric's first MLS goal. The Sounders also had a goal called back, but Morris leveled in the 62nd minute and secured his brace in the third minute of stoppage time.
LINEUPS
No Turner in net for the Revs.
Big opportunity for Fagundez, the homegrown talent, in the midfield. Need him to play big.
Delamea and Gil also out.
