The XI: Villa Starts vs. Portland

New York City FC Head Coach Patrick Vieira has made four changes to the XI which started the 2-2 draw in Atlanta last week.

For today's clash at Providence Park vs. the Portland Timbers, Vieira has brought Ronald Matarrita, Ebenezer Ofori, Rodney Wallace and David Villa back into the lineup.

Isi Tajouri-Shradi misses out through injury, while Ben Sweat, Yangel Herrera and Jesus Medina all drop to the bench.

Elsewhere, the XI is the same one that began at the Mercedes Benz Stadium, with Sean Johnson in goal behind Anton Tinnerholm, Maxime Chanot, Alexander Callens and Matarrita.
