Yangel Herrera makes his first start for more than five months on Decision Day vs. Philadelphia Union.
The Venezuelan, who returned to action as a substitute in D.C., joins Maxi Moralez and Alex Ring in the middle as the Boys in Blue look to gain home-field advantage for the Knockout Round.
Elsewhere, David Villa leads the line with support from Jesus Medina and Ronald Matarrita, while Maxime Chanot also returns to the XI alongside Alexander Callens at the back.
Anton Tinnerholm and Ben Sweat are the full-backs for this match which will determine Playoff positioning.
A win or a draw means that City will hosts a Knockout Round game next week on Wednesday or Thursday night.
