If New York City FC are able to beat Atlanta United this Wednesday, they can clinch first place in the Eastern Conference — which gives them home-field advantage in the playoffs as well as a birth into the 2020 CONCACAF Champions League — so long as the Philadelphia Union either lose or draw against the San Jose Earthquakes.
For this particular key match, star forward Héber has been confirmed to be available for selection. Unfortunately, right back Anton Tinnerholm has been ruled out following a concussion sustained this past weekend against FC Dallas.
