Ronald Matarrita returns to Patrick Vieira's lineup for the first time since suffering an injury in NYCFC's 3-1 victory over Minnesota United back on June 29th.
Elsewhere, David Villa will start this match as a substitute on a night where Vieira has made four changes to the starting XI that faced Houston this past Saturday. Joining Villa on the bench is Yangel Herrera, who is finally back in the 18 after recovering from an injury he suffered on international duty with Venezuela.
