As of right now, New York City FC are firmly in the driver’s seat when it comes to the race for tops in the Eastern Conference. Because of their 4-1 win over Atlanta United on Wednesday, NYCFC can lock up first place in the East with either a win or draw against the New England Revolution tomorrow night regardless of how the Philadelphia Union fare against the Columbus Crew.
Unfortunately, for NYCFC to accomplish this historic feat, they will have to do it without the help of six key players.
