New York City FC will take on the Columbus Crew at Yankee Stadium in a matchup between two of the most in-form teams in Major League Soccer.
A cruising 5-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes moved the Pigeons up to third place in the Eastern Conference standings, five points clear of the defender MLS Cup champions, who won against Orlando City 2-0 in their most recent league contest.
The result extended Columbus' winning run to three MLS games as they sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, a point behind Charlotte FC for fifth.

Team news & squads
New York City FC team news
New York City should have a mostly fit squad to choose from for this game. Rio Hope-Gund missed the last game with a leg injury, so his availability is in question.
Defender Rio Hope-Gund is out for NYCFC due to a leg injury, while Thiago Martins is questionable after missing the previous encounter with a knock.
Maxi Moralez made his first appearance since rupturing his ACL last season, while Kevin O'Toole was taken off before the end of the first-half against the Earthquakes, so he will be questionable to start.
Tayvon Gray is on Copa America international duty with Jamaica, while home-grown attacker Andres Jasson has signed with Aalborg BK in the Danish top-flight.
