Fresh off an impressive road draw against the best team in the league, Toronto FC will enjoy the comforts of home this weekend when it hosts the Columbus Crew.

Saturday's game will mark the BMO Field debut of new DP Djordje Mihailovic, who earned an assist in substitute Deandre Kerr's injury-time equalizer last week vs. the Philadelphia Union.

Kerr was recognized for his efforts when he was named to the MLS team of the week, so it'll be interesting to see if he gets to start this weekend or will be used again off the bench.

Here’s what you need to know about Saturday's game between Toronto and Columbus (7:30 p.m. ET/TSN & Apple TV).
