Toronto FC vs. Nashville SC: What you need to know

Toronto FC is riding high at the moment, finding ways to grind out results and slowly climb up the MLS ladder during the dog days of summer

With last weekend’s 2-1 road victory over the Fire, Toronto (3-8-4) leapfrogged Chicago (3-9-3) into 12th place in the Eastern Conference and closed some of the gap in the playoff race. TFC is unbeaten and has claimed eight of a possible 12 points since Javier Perez took over as interim coach following the firing of Chris Armas on July 4.

The Reds will attempt to extend its season-high unbeaten streak to five games when it hosts Nashville SC this weekend.

Here’s what you need to know about Sunday’s game (7:30 p.m. ET) between TFC and Nashville at BMO Field.
