After being named the 16th Head Coach in New York Red Bulls history on Friday, Chris Armas will coach his first game, against New York City FC in the New York Derby, and look to extend the Red Bulls league play winning streak to four games.
Armas' group though will have to take on NYCFC without the services of Florian Valot, who suffered an injury earlier in the week, which means Alex Muyl gets his second straight start for the Red Bulls.
Bradley Wright-Phillips, will serve as the teams' striker, and will be alongside Danny Royer, who returns to the Starting XI after missing the match against Toronto last week, after being issued a red card against FC Dallas on June 23.
