Pascal Jansen must rely on these players when NYCFC faces Philadelphia

New York City FC is still in the MLS Cup Playoffs and will play this weekend after they defeated Charlotte FC in the Round One Best-of-3 series. The team must play the Philadelphia Union in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, who won the MLS Supporters' Shield when the teams last met at the end of the regular season.

Of course, NYCFC lost that game, and fears are growing about whether they can compete with the Union when they play on Sunday. Pascal Jansen has some decisions to make about the Starting XI. The Bronx side will be without Aiden O'Neill, who might be one of the underrated signings in Major League Soccer this year.
