*Philadelphia Union have earned a spot in the Leagues Cup Semifinals for a second straight year

*Philadelphia Union have played five matches to get to the semifinals

*The Union roster will be hampered somewhat by suspension and potential transfers.

*Tai Baribo was forced to leave the match against Mazatlán and is not eligible to play tonight

*Coach Curtin told the Philadelphia media that José Martinez will not be on the team travel list due to a possible transfer. No official word has come out as of today

*A huge plus for Philadelphia tonight will be having three-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, 33-year old, Andre Blake back in goal after missing a long stretch due to an injury. The team usually plays good with him on the field

*Columbus and Philadelphia matches are usually close and usually a mistake is the key to winning
