Revolution-Fire Preview (AP)

 
The last time New England and Chicago met, Taylor Twellman put the Revolution in the MLS Cup with an acrobatic goal. On Thursday night, he'll only be able to watch his team's rematch with the Fire. Twellman, one of the league's best players, is expected to miss at least six weeks after suffering a tear of his medial meniscus in training. [link]
