New York City FC will look to bounce back from a difficult loss to Orlando City SC and move back atop the Eastern Conference when they take on D.C. United Thursday at 7 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.
NYCFC (11-8-8) are currently second in the East, two points behind Toronto FC, but just one point in front of the New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union. On Sunday night at Camping World Stadium, NYCFC lost to Orlando City SC, 2-1, with Steven Mendoza scoring the lone goal off the rebound of a saved shot by Frank Lampard.
