TORONTO - Elimination from playoff contention is on the line again Saturday as Toronto FC visits the New England Revolution after the international break.

But Toronto (5-13-10) is already looking to the future, using the remaining six games of the regular season to decide who will be coming back next year. New England (8-14-7), which could also see its slim playoff hopes extinguished, is very much in the same boat.

Toronto, which dodged the bullet last time out, will be eliminated from playoff contention if it loses or draws at New England or Chicago wins or draws at New York City FC or the New York Red Bulls win at Portland.

A Toronto victory coupled with a Chicago win over NYCFC, meanwhile, eliminates the Revs from playoff contention.
