Tonight Philadelphia Union will look to advance past the Round of 16 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup against New York Red Bulls. This is the third all-time meeting between the two clubs in Open Cup competition, with the series tied 1-1.

The starting XI features a similar lineup for the Union as you would see in MLS matches. Up top for the Union is the all-time goal scorer in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup history Sebastien Le Toux.

The midfield features Union leading goal-scorer Chris Pontius, who has notched six goals this season. Alongside Pontius is reigning MLS player of the Week Roland Alberg, fresh off a four goal in two game performances.
