Brian White will get the nod from Head Coach Chris Armas to start in place of Bradley Wright-Phillips, who will miss Sunday afternoon's game due to yellow card accumulation.
White will start up top for the New York Red Bulls as they take on Atlanta United FC at Red Bull Arena, with kickoff at 1 p.m.
"We think he's going to be an incredible replacement," Armas said. "Nothing he's going to do will surprise us on the inside."
Daniel Royer, Kaku and Alex Muyl will lead the midfield attack for New York.
Sean Davis and Marc Rzatkowski will anchor the defensive midfield.
