Lineups are in for both teams, and Minnesota United will be facing a New York City FC team that is far from its best. David Villa and Maxi Morales, two of the team’s highest profile players, are not in the match day squad as NYCFC closes out a three-game week.
Suspensions for Fernando Bob (red card against Portland) and Maximiano (yellow card accumulation) force some midfield changes for United as Rasmus Schuller and Collen Warner replace them in the 4-2-3-1. Jérôme Thiesson returns from injury to start at right back, Francisco Calvo bumps out to the left and Alexi Gomez slots in at left wing.
