The New York City FC boss Nick Cushing doesn’t have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match thanks to a fully healthy group ready to go.

It looks as if The Pigeons will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Luis Barraza, Mitja Ilenic, Thiago Martins, Maxime Chanot, Braian Cufre, James Sands, Keaton Parks, Gabriel Pereira, Matias Pellegrini, Santiago Rodriguez and Talles Magno.

Inter Miami boss Phil Neville has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Noah Allen (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury), Ian Fray (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Robbie Robinson (Muscle Injury), Edison Azcona (Muscle Injury) and Leonardo Campana (Calf Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe The Herons seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Drake Callender, DeAndre Yedlin, Serhiy Kryvtsov, Christopher McVey, Franco Negri, Jean Mota, Gregore, Corentin Jean, Nicolas Stefanelli, Rodolfo Pizarro and Josef Martinez.
