Still 2nd in the East, New York City is only 3 behind the leader, Atlanta. Winners of 3 of their last 4 games with MLS, David Villa’s team-mates have had two consecutive wins, first against the New York Red Bulls (1-0) and against Montreal this week (3-0).
In front, Columbus has not been well for a few weeks and has won only one of his last 7 league games. Humiliated at the Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend (4-0), the partners of Federico Higuain fell back to the 4th rank of the same conference, now 7 points behind their opponent of the day.

Three men are absent for New York City: the striker Berget, midfielder Herrera and substitute Hountondji (injured). Absent since 2 games, co-top scorer David Villa is still uncertain.
Columbus made the trip without 2 players on the bench: midfielder Abu and forward Jahn (injured).
