We’re off in the Bronx! It’s gonna be a tough one with a limited squad. Can City pull it out?
Rosters are out! As expected, it’s a quite depleted squad for this one. Many players seem like they will be played out of position. And NYCFC only has five players available on the bench. This might be a tough one.
