The New York Red Bulls can overtake New York City FC in the Eastern Conference with victory in the first New York derby match of 2019.
NYCFC are just one point ahead of their city rivals in fifth place after their club-record 14 game unbeaten run in all competitions was brought to an end with a home defeat to the Portland Timbers last weekend.
The Red Bulls meanwhile have won just one of their last four MLS matches and needed a 93rd minute equaliser from Bradley Wright-Phillips to secure a 3-3 draw against Atlanta United last weekend.
