Domènec Torrent's first XI as NYCFC Head Coach showed no changes from the 1-1 tie with Atlanta United last time out.
Rolling with the same team which took to the field before the international break, Torrent keeps the same back four, with Alexander Callens and Sebastien Ibeagha joined by Ben Sweat in a back three.
Ahead of them, Anton Tinnerholm and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi look likely to provide the width on either side of Alex Ring, Ebenezer Ofori and Maxi Moralez, in behind David Villa and Jo Inge Berget, who partner up.
Domenec Torrent leads NYCFC for the first time since replacing Patrick Vieira as boss and he's joined by coaches Javier Perez and Rob Vartughian on the bench, as well as substitutes, Brad Stuver, Kwame Awuah, Maxime Chanot, Tommy McNamara, Jesus Medina and Jonathan Lewis.
Kick-off is set for 5pm ET at Yankee Stadium and you can watch the game on YES Network* or FSGO.
*Game may be delayed on YES in event of extra innings in Yankees vs. Tampa.
NYCFC XI: Johnston, Sweat, Callens, Ibeagha, Tinnerholm, Ring, Ofori, Moralez, Tajouri-Shradi, Villa (C), Berget
