Head Coach Chris Armas will again roll with the same lineup for the second week in a row.
Armas will play the same Starting XI and 18-man gameday roster that he used in his first game at the helm.
Bradley Wright-Phillips will start at forward, while Captain Luis Robles starts in goal.
Wright-Phillips has tallied 97 league goals in 156 games, just three shy of reaching the 100-league goal plateau. Taylor Twellman currently holds the MLS record for fastest to 100 goals, playing in just 174 games. Behind Twellman is Chris Wondolowski (210 games) and Ante Razov (217) ranked second and third, respectively.
Kaku, Alex Muyl and Daniel Royer will lead the attacking midfield, while Sean Davis and Tyler Adams work as the team's defensive midfield.
Kaku leads the squad in assists with 11, while Wright-Phillips sits in second with eight.
Connor Lade and Kemar Lawrence will play as the defensive wingbacks, with Aaron Long and Tim Parker anchoring the centerback positions.
The Red Bulls have used 23 different players and 17 different Starting XIs to begin the season 14-5-4 across all competitions.
Armas will have Ryan Meara as the backup goalkeeper, with Michael Amir Murillo, Fidel Escobar, Aurélien Collin, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Ethan Kutler and Marc Rzatkowski also available as subs.
The Red Bulls (10-5-2, 32 pts) and Sporting Kansas City (9-4-6, 33 pts) are slated for Saturday’s Pride Night, presented by Bayer, at Red Bull Arena. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET with coverage on MSG, MSG GO and New York Red Bulls Radio in English and Spanish on TuneIn.
