This is probably the most likely line-up because it is what Chicago have used all season. It's narrow and almost entirely through the middle. Rolfe is the playmaker, attacking movement out wide is generated almost exclusively from the right side via Anibaba and Nyarko. It has gotten the Fire to the playoffs, but they have a very difficult time adapting to any tactics that counter this formation; they lack flexibility or variety.
