Team news & rosters
| Position | LAFC roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Crepeau, Romero, McCarthy |
| Defenders | Escobar, Murillo, Segura, Fall, Palacios, Traore, Hollingshead, Ibeagha, Leone, Kim, Henry, Gaines |

A 1-1 draw with Champions League holders Seattle has not done much to check LAFC's momentum, and they remain the team to beat in the Western Conference.
But this cross-country clash brings a different kind of test for the Californian outfit to weather - and they'll hope that they can pull through, particularly following the news of their capture of Italy legend Girogio Chiellini and Wales international star Gareth Bale.
Predicted LAFC starting XI: Crepeau; Palacios, Ibeagha, Murillo, Hollingshead; Sanchez, Cifuentes, Acosta; Rodriguez, Arango, Opoku
| Position | NYRB roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Coronel, Meara, Marcucci |
| Defenders | Monzón, Reyes, Edwards, D. Nealis, S. Nealis, Harper, Pendant, Long, Tolkin, Castillo |
| Midfielders | Amaya, Morgan, Yearwood, Carmona, Fernandez, Cásseres Jr., Castellano, Clark, Sserwadda, Luquinhas, Estrella, Edelman |
| Forwards | Klimala, Fletcher, Ngoma, Ryan, Sow, Barlow, Wright-Phillips |
With just their cross-town rivals topping them out in the Eastern Conference heading into the weekend, the Red Bulls are very much looking the package this term.
Victory on the road would be a major statement of intent too - and they will know it, particularly after turning over Toronto the way they did last weekend.
Predicted NYRB starting XI: Coronel; Edwards, S. Nealis, Long; D. Nealis, Amaya, Casseres, Tolkin; Luquinhas, Morgan; Fernandez.
