Impact Burke was handed the start so Julian Carranza could take a small break and made good with his second goal over his last five appearances. While Carranza is likely to start with regularity since he's already scored seven times this season, Burke appears to be a reliable backup option. Up next is a visit from New England, which have conceded the fifth-most goals in MLS.

Jack Elliott - Dealing with knee issue Elliott is listed as questionable with a knee injury in Philadelphia's injury report for Wednesday's clash against Inter Miami.

Impact Elliott played the full 90 minutes in Friday's blowout win over D.C. United, but he has since picked up a knee injury and will be a game time decision for Wednesday's match. Stuart Findlay could replace him in central defense against Miami if necessary.

Impact Craig made his professional debut during the 7-0 drubbing of D.C. United on Friday and will soon play even more once there's room on the team sheet. Following a successful CONCACAF U-20 tournament with three of his teammates, Craig could be another top youth prospect for a club that does well to invest in younger players.

Stuart Findlay - Leaving after next match Findlay is set to transfer away from Philadelphia after Saturday's match against New England, according to manager Jim Curtin via Jonathan Tannenwald of the Philadelphia Enquirer.

Impact Findlay's next destination hasn't been disclosed yet but he'll get two more matches, Wednesday against Inter Miami and Saturday against the Revolution, before his departure. He came ahead of the 2021 season with more promise, but lost a starting place to Jakob Glesnes and never could take it back.

Andre Blake - Keeps clean sheet in win Blake kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Friday's 7-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Blake has kept two clean sheets in his last two matches and it took some skillful stops Friday night as well, including one with his face. With just 13 goals conceded all season, Blake and his teammates hold the best defensive record in the league and are tied for the lead in clean sheets with eight. He'll now focus on Inter Miami, which are tied for the fewest goals scored in MLS.

Cory Burke - Provides assist in win Burke provided one assist in 29 minutes off the bench during Friday's 7-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Burke has one goal and one assist in his last four appearances but has started just three times in the last three months. With both Mikael Uhre and Julian Carranza scoring multiple times Friday night, Burke isn't likely to take on a big role any time soon.

Daniel Gazdag - Gets two helpers in win Gazdag provided one assist and one secondary assist on two chances created in 60 minutes of Friday's 7-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Gazdag also got involved by helping out Mikael Uhre's first goal, which was his first goal contribution in six matches. Though he sits at the top of the midfield, Gazdag has been recently outdone by Alejandro Bedoya (two goals scored) in the attack but he'll try to turn things around against Inter Miami, which have conceded 28 goals in 18 matches.

Mikael Uhre - Bags brace in win Uhre scored two goals from two shots (both on target) during 61 minutes of Friday's 7-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Uhre has yet to play a full 90 all season and never more than two-thirds of a match in his last six appearances, but he's now scored three in his last three starts. He'll hope to carry this good form against Inter Miami, which have conceded 27 goals in 18 matches.

Kai Wagner - Keeps clean sheet, logs assist Wagner provided one assist and two secondary assists from five chances created on seven crosses (five accurate) and kept a clean sheet during Friday's 7-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Wagner was one of the stars of the evening alongside Julian Carranza and Mikael Uhre as they collected a historic margin of victory. Their good confidence, along with a league-best defensive record of 13 goals conceded in 19 matches, should help Wagner stay hot against Inter Miami, which are tied for the fewest goals scored in the league.
