FC Cincinnati team news

Evander and Kevin Denkley both scored 12 goals in the regular season, making the duo formidable in attack.

Defender Miles Robinson is back from international duty with the USMNT at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but the likes of Gilberto Flores, Yuya Kubo, Obinna Nwobodo, Sergio Santos and Nick Hagglund are all unlikely to be available for selection here.

Columbus Crew team news

Having scored in the Sounders' draw, Uruguayan forward Diego Rossi will continue in attack.

On the injury front, Nicholas Hagen, Rudy Camacho, Malte Amundsen and Patrick Schulte are all ruled out with their respective issues.
