MLS All-Stars Set To Play Chelsea FC

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Major League Soccer's All-Stars are ready to play the touring Chelsea FC team.

The MLS All Stars will have only practiced together for about two days before they play Chelsea FC on Wednesday night at PPL Park. PPL Park is located in nearby Chester, along the Delaware River.

Last year's game was held at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey and featured top MLS players taking on Manchester United.

Chelsea FC has won the English top flight on four occasions. The MLS All Stars beat Chelsea 1-0 in the 2006 game. Dwayne De Rosario won the game for MLS with the only goal. He's back again, along with All-Star teammates Landon Donovan and Thierry Henry.

This is the seventh time an English Premier League team will play the MLS All Stars.
