The New York Red Bulls will make two changes from their previous lineup as they take on New York City FC at Yankee Stadium on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. (TV: FS1, STREAM: Fox Sports Go, RADIO: New York Red Bulls Radio on Tunein).


The Red Bulls will insert Damien Perrinelle on defense, alongside with Aaron Long and Sal Zizzo. Kemar Lawrence will rejoin the starting lineup as well.


Lawrence was suspended for the Red Bulls' game against the Montreal Impact stemming from a play before he was away on Gold Cup duty.


Felipe and Tyler Adams will anchor the defensive midfield, with Sacha Kljestan, Sean Davis, Daniel Royer and Bradley Wright-Phillips controlling the attack.


Wright-Phillips has scored eight goals in seven MLS games versus NYCFC. With one more goal, BWP (80) will surpass Brian McBride and Josh Wolff for sole possession of 16th place on the MLS regular-season all-time scoring list, and move one behind Brian Ching and Raul Diaz Arce (82).


Luis Robles will be in goal.


The bench will be filled out with Ryan Meara, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Alex Muyl, Gonzalo Veron, Dan Metzger, Michael Amir Murillo and Fidel Escobar. 


The Red Bulls have outscored NYCFC at Yankee Stadium, 10-3, in three games in the Bronx. New York is 2-1-0 all time at Yankee Stadium.
