MLS Matchday 27 could feature a historic moment for the league, as the Philadelphia Union 's 14-year-old phenom Cavan Sullivan could become the youngest player in league history. Cavan Sullivan — whose older brother Quinn Sullivan also is a player for the Union — will be a part of the team's squad for Wednesday night's home game against the New England Revolution . If Cavan Sullivan appears in the game, he will break Freddy Adu's record by 13 days as the youngest player in MLS history.
The Philadelphia Union are in a bad spot at the moment. The club is riding a 10-game winless streak, with the last win coming on May 18 against the aforementioned Revolution. That rough patch has pushed the Union — a league powerhouse the last few years — into the cellar of the Eastern Conference .
Still, this game could give the winner the inside track out West, with each club entering Wednesday having played fewer games (two for LAFC and one for RSL) than the Galaxy.
