Need to know

Only three points below the playoff places, the record six-time MLS Cup champions are facing pressure to start picking up points, especially at home this weekend.

Can a busy summer window help turn things around?

Head coach Greg Vanney is banking on it after the club signed Roberto, Lozano, Kyōgo Furuhashi and more before the Secondary Transfer Window closed on Wednesday.

New England Revolution

4th in Eastern Conference
37 points (11W-7L-4D)

The Revs are unbeaten in three straight games, most recently dispatching the Columbus Crew, 3-1, last Sunday.

Matt Polster and Dor Turgeman each scored in the victory, while club legend Carles Gil posted one goal and two assists.

Players to watch

Carles Gil: The 2021 Landon Donovan MLS MVP and five-time All-Star again leads New England's attack, producing a team-best 16 goal contributions (8g/8a) this season.
Jack Harrison: New England's latest DP signing has made an immediate impact, tallying six assists in five total matches.
Peyton Miller: The US youth international is in the midst of a breakout campaign, with 4g/4a in 20 matches.
Matt Turner: The USMNT goalkeeper has posted the fifth-most saves in MLS this season (87).

Need to know

New England have turned plenty of heads during head coach Marko Mitrović's first year in charge.

The Revs are currently sixth in the Supporters' Shield standings and fourth in the East, holding onto the conference's final home playoff position.

With Gil playing at an MVP-caliber level, flanked by wingers Harrison and Miller, the Revs look to be a tough out for any opponent.
