New York City FC and Montreal Impact face-off in a crunch fixture for both Eastern Conference clubs as they seek to kick-on their respective seasons. The home team lost their opener to Orlando City and dispatched DC United in the second, while the away side has a solitary point from two games after a narrow defeat to San Jose in their first fixture and the recent 2-2 draw at the Seattle Sounders.

New York City FC seems to have some real swagger about themselves at the moment and this was evident from their 4-0 drubbing of DC United in week 2.
