Union Entertain D.C. United Tonight

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Philadelphia Union will look to stay unbeaten at home tonight as they welcome D.C. United to Chester.

Philadelphia is 4-3-3 on the season and unbeaten in their last four matches overall (1-0-3). At home this year Philadelphia has played some of its best soccer, going 3-0-2 in five matches at Talen Energy Stadium.

Philadelphia is getting contributions from a lot of different players this season. That list includes midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta who is enjoying his second season in Philadelphia.

"We have a great feeling on the pitch," Barnetta tells KYW Newsradio. "I think you can see that we have fun out there."

The 30-year-old Barnetta has played in seven matches this season, starting the last four. He has a goal and two assists. That one goal was a thing of beauty off a free kick in the 90th minute against Orlando City back on April 8th. It was the difference in a 2-1 Union victory.

Tonight, the Union match-up with a D.C. United club that is 3-4-4 on the season.

"They have a strong team," Barnetta says. "Maybe they don't have the same names like the last two teams, LA and Montreal, but as a team, they are really strong. They compete really well and it will be a tough game for us."

So what do the Union need to do in this one to get a result?

"Try to keep possession," Barnetta says. "Stay calm on the ball. We know that we always can create chances. So if we defend well with the whole team, I'm sure that we can win this game."

This will be the first meeting between these two teams this season. All-time, Philadelphia is 5-7-3 against United.

Tonight's match gets underway at 7:00pm.
