Toronto FC will kickoff its third match of the 2011 MLS season at 1 p.m. on Saturday at BMO Field against winless Chivas USA.

It will be the first match for Toronto since 2008 without Dwayne De Rosario as a Red. The former captain was traded to the New York Red Bulls on Friday in exchange for 21-year old midfielder Tony Tchani, left back Danleigh Borman and a 2012 first round MLS SuperDraft pick.

Earlier in the week Toronto bolstered its backline by adding Jamaican international defender Dicoy Williams.

The Reds enjoyed a successful home opener last week, beating Portland Timbers 2-0 courtesy of a Javier Martina brace. One of the Dutch forward's sublime strikes netted him MLS AT&T Goal of the Week honours.

Playing on a hard, cold pitch that showed the effects of an extended winter in Toronto, the Reds didn't get to dominate possession but they walked away with three points and a clean sheet.

Chivas on the other hand is coming off a midweek U.S. Open Cup loss to Portland, and its first two MLS matches have also been defeats at home to Sporting Kansas City and Colorado in consecutive weeks.

TV:
The match will be shown live on TSN at 1:00 p.m. ET. Luke Wileman and Jason DeVos will have the call.

Radio:
Dan Dunleavy & Bob Iarusci will be on the dial with Sportsnet Radio FAN 590 from 1:00 p.m. ET.

Online:
TorontoFC.ca will host a live chat with Asif Hossain from 12:45 p.m. ET. You can comment on the match, ask questions and watch highlights as they arrive.
