The New York Red Bulls will play a familiar lineup on Friday night against New York City FC in the final regular season New York Derby of the 2017 season.

One wrinkle will see Fidel Escobar make his second-consecutive start for the Red Bulls, following his debut against the Portland Timbers last week.

Aaron Long and Kemar Lawrence will join Escobar on defense, supported by Michael Amir Murillo and Tyler Adams on the wings.

Escobar and Murillo have been teammates at both the youth and senior levels for the Panamanian national team.

Sacha Kljestan and Felipe will lock down the central midfield, while Sean Davis and Alex Muyl handle the attacking wings.
