After coming off the bench against Montreal Yangel Herrera returns to NYCFC's starting lineup for the first time since suffering his injury on international duty with Venezuela. David Villa also slots back into the starting XI for tonight's match against the Chicago Fire after entering as a substitute against Montreal.
Patrick Vieira makes three changes from his lineup that notched a midweek win over Montreal. In addition to Villa and Herrera, Ben Sweat will slot back in at left fullback to replace Ronald Matarrita, who got the start on Wednesday.
