The New York Red Bulls look to finish out a perfect July campaign on Saturday night against the Montreal Impact at Red Bull Arena.


Jesse Marsch will put out a familiar Starting XI at 7:30 PM on MSG and New York Red Bulls Radio.





Bradley Wright-Phillips will lead the charge forward for the Red Bulls, with Daniel Royer, Sacha Kljestan (C) and Sean Davis behind him. New York will deploy Alex Muyl, Felipe and Tyler Adams, as well.


Wright-Phillips and Kljestan continue to climb their respective MLS all-time lists in goals and assists as Wright-Phillips scored his tenth goal and Kljestan recorded his ninth assist, respectively, of the season against Minnesota. Wright-Phillips moved into a tie for 18th all-time in MLS regular-season goals and ranks third among active MLS players, while Kljestan sits 14th all-time in MLS regular-season assists with 76 and second among active MLS players.


The defense will be the trio of Michael Amir Murillo, Aaron Long and Sal Zizzo. Luis Robles will be in goal.


Robles added another franchise record to his name as he became the franchise leader in minutes played among field players and goalkeepers at 14,400, surpassing former Red Bull Dax McCarty


The Red Bulls 18-man roster is filled out with Ryan Meara, Gonzalo Veron, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Dan Metzger, Arun Basuljevic, Damien Perrinelle and Fidel Escobar.


Escobar makes his first appearance with New York since joining the team on loan on Thursday.
