New York Red Bulls team news

In terms of squad news, New York Red Bulls head coach Sandro Schwarz has rotated his lineup in recent matches to address disciplinary concerns (such as the early substitution of Kyle Duncan after a yellow card), and will look to his attacking options - especially Choupo-Moting, who scored in midweek - to break down a resolute Union defense.

The Red Bulls’ midfield will also be under scrutiny, having conceded goals shortly after scoring on Wednesday night.

Philadelphia Union team news

Philadelphia Union, fresh off their Open Cup progression and without injury concerns, are carrying momentum into the league fixture. Their recent signings, notably Milan Iloski (who scored his first for the club in midweek), are settling in quickly.

Andre Blake remains a key figure in goal and the Union will likely again utilize the creativity of Kai Wagner from the left and a physical, pressing midfield led by Quinn Sullivan.
