Team News: New York City FC
Malachi Jones (Broken leg) and Jacob Arroyave (Knee injury) won’t be able to feature for New York City FC boss Pascal Jansen.
We think that The Pigeons may well use a 4-5-1 system in the match featuring Matt Freese, Tayvon Gray, Thiago Martins, Justin Haak, Kevin OToole, Hannes Wolf, Keaton Parks, Jonathan Shore, Maxi Moralez, Agustin Ojeda and Alonso Martínez.
