When D.C. United takes on New York City FC on Sunday, the formation and most of the lineup will not be in doubt. Injuries, suspensions, and the good play of certain people can basically write Ben Olsen's lineup card for him. In this case, however, that isn't a bad thing.
With a supsension for Chris Rolfe and Fabian Espindola still recovering from injury, Alvaro Saborio and Luciano Acosta walk back into the lineup. Despite Saborio not looking much of a goal threat, he played fairly well, and Acosta won't have to worry about the midfield as he will be pushed further forward.
