Columbus Crew will host New York City up next in the MLS at the Lower.com Field on Saturday.
Columbus Crew have won their last seven games in a row and that run includes a victory in the Leagues Cup as well. They will be extremely confident of keeping that run intact.
New York City were beaten by the hosts in the quarter-final of the Leagues Cup on penalties and will be looking for payback with a win in the league. However, they are winless against the Crew in the last five meetings between the two teams.
