After taking down second-place Vancouver last week with a 2-1 win, Real Salt Lake heads east to take on David Villa and the rest of the New York City FC squad in their first and only match-up of the regular season.
NYCFC (4-0-1, 13 points), one of only two unbeaten teams left in MLS, sits atop the Eastern Conference just one point ahead of Atlanta United. They’ve found themselves in the midst of a dream start to the season, outscoring their opponents 10-4, with two of those goals allowed coming in their only draw, a 2-2 finish against the New England Revolution.
