Inter Miami CF travel to Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey to face Red Bull New York in a Major League Soccer fixture that carries very different implications for each side.
The Red Bulls sit ninth in the Eastern Conference, a position that leaves them fighting to stay relevant in the playoff picture with the regular season drawing to a close. Michael Bradley's side have been inconsistent, and the pressure is mounting.
Inter Miami arrive in a far stronger position. Sitting second in the East, Kily Gonzalez's squad have been one of the more convincing teams in the conference, even if results have occasionally papered over some defensive fragility.
Lionel Messi continues to be the central figure for Miami. The Argentine has been in excellent scoring form, and his presence alone shifts the dynamic of any MLS fixture.
Messi is also fresh from being honoured in Oviedo, where he received the Princess of Asturias Award for Sports — recognition that extended beyond football to include his humanitarian work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He arrived back to club duties carrying that prestige.
For New York, stopping Messi and disrupting Miami's rhythm will be the primary challenge. Bradley's team have the home crowd behind them, but they will need a significant improvement on recent performances.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch this MLS fixture live.
