NYCFC heads to Red Bull Arena in search of their first-ever win on enemy territory in Major League Soccer's New York derby.
There is something just a little forced and manufactured about Major League Soccer's recent tradition of adjusting its schedule to give us rivalry weeks, conveniently packaged deliveries of what should be the league's best matchups. On some level, it has often felt contrived, but in the midst of all that production we have actually seen some of these rivalries start to truly develop into what the league really wants and needs.
Take the New York derby.
