Storyline:
The Fire (1-4-7, 10 points) are stuck in a club record 10-game winless streak after Saturday’s 0-0 home tie with Seattle and haven’t won since beating Sporting KC in late March. Kansas City (1-6-3, 6 points) has the worst record in MLS. Interim Fire coach Frank Klopas began his career in Kansas City before joining the expansion Fire as a player in 1998.
