The Major League Soccer enters its fourth round with a some thrilling matches lined up. The arrival of Bastian Schweinsteiger at Chicago Fire has been the main highlight of a rather silent week as players returned to camp following the international break.
On Friday, Toronto FC play Sporting KC at the BMO Field, while MLS Cup defending champions Seattle Sounders welcome newly-promoted side Atlanta United to the Century Link Field. This will be the first major test for Atlanta since their promotion. The new boys are surprisingly third in the Eastern Conference table with six points, just one away from joint-leaders NY Red Bulls and Columbus Crew.
Atlanta have won two and lost one of their first three opening games of the new season. Brian Schmetzer's men, on the other hand, are sixth in the Western Conference standings with four points, having won one, drawn one and lost one of their first three opening games. But thanks to Clint Dempsey's excellent form both for Sounders and the USMNT, coupled by the home ground factor, this could be yet another victory for the hosts at Century Link.

Well, @Clint_Dempsey took #Get3 literally.

On Saturday, there will be more exciting fixtures as NYC FC take on San Jose Earthquakes in an early kick-off. Then the biggest game is probably Chicago Fire vs Montreal Impact; Bastian could make his debut for the hosts in this clash, something worth looking forward to.

Also, all eyes will be on DC United on Saturday as they take on Philadelphia Union. The Washington D.C. - based club sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings and is the only side on the log that has not scored a goal so far in the campaign. Ben Olsen's men now face Philadelphia side that is also winless and sits just right above DC on the log with two points.
As the league continues to gain momentum, this weekend's round of matches provides the opportunities for teams that have started on a low note to make amends. But this could also mean one thing - the teams at the mid and top of the table could be in for a major reshuffle.
