Key Players
CB Aaron Long
The US international is the heart of the Red Bulls team and an anchor in their backline. He's one of the best stoppers in the league and a dangerous presence on offensive set pieces, which New York will rely upon to create chances.
W Lewis Morgan
Morgan scored a bunch of goals early in the year playing as an inverted winger, but has recently been deployed as a (largely ineffective) right wingback in recent games. Morgan is a deadly crosser and high-energy player on the field.
ST Patryk Klimala
The Polish striker is a unique player, as he's an absolute beast in the underlying numbers, but consistently one of the worst finishers in the league. He'll create danger in this game, but whether he capitalizes on that remains to be seen.
CM Frankie Amaya
The former FC Cincinnati draft pick has become a real force in central midfield for the Red Bulls. He's a ball-winning terrier, but also a deft progressive passer with range. He can cause turnovers and then turn that into offense.
