FOXBOROUGH, Mass.
4 pm ET (FSN-NE) The New England Revolution face a busy stretch with a very short roster, but still return home in high spirits after a dramatic, come-from-behind victory against the Kansas City Wizards at midweek. The short rest though won’t be welcomed by the injury-wracked Revolution – especially as they face the suddenly hot Columbus Crew, who won for the first time this season when the teams played each three weeks ago in Ohio and have taken the full three points in every match since.
