Emil Forsberg returns to the Starting XI against FC Cincinnati on Saturday night.
Forsberg, who missed the last few matches due to international duty and injury, is back in the New York Red Bulls starting squad in Ohio.
This will be the 12th overall regular season meeting between New York and Cincinnati, with the Red Bulls holding the advantage in the series with a 5-3-3 mark.
The duo of Lewis Morgan and Dante Vanzeir will lead the attack for New York, with Wiki Carmona pushing forward.
Morgan currently leads MLS in goals scored with six and game-winning goals with three. With his sixth goal, Morgan tied Carlos Vela (2019) for the most goals scored by an MLS player in the month of March. The Scottish winger has recorded three goals and three assists against FC Cincinnati across all competitions in his career.
Peter Stroud and Frankie Amaya again team up in the defensive midfield for New York.
Along the backline, John Tolkin, Sean Nealis, Andrés Reyes and Dylan Nealis get the start.
The Red Bulls have posted a 3-0-1 regular season mark against Cincinnati, including a 2-0-1 mark at TQL Stadium.
Carlos Coronel starts in goal.
