INSIDE THE 18: Full Strength Lineup vs. D.C. United

Chris Armas

Head Coach Chris Armas will run with a full strength lineup against D.C. United, looking for an Atlantic Cup sweep in 2018.


Coming off the international break, Armas will have his full compliment of players available.


Bradley Wright-Phillips will start at forward, looking to add to his already strong history at Audi Field, as in his previous visit he notched goal No. 100 in his career in MLS regular season play.


Danny Royer, Marc Rzatkowski and Kaku will lead the midfield, with the latter scoring the game-winning goal in the previous meeting between these two sides.


Tyler Adams and Sean Davis will anchor the defensive midfield, as Kemar Lawrence, Aaron Long, Tim Parker and Michael Amir Murillo are locked down on defense.


Luis Robles will captain the Red Bulls and start in goal for his 200th league start and appearance in regular season play.


Armas will have Ryan Meara available as backup keeper, as well as Brian White, Andreas Ivan, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Alex Muyl, Fidel Escobar and Connor Lade able to sub in.


Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET with coverage on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and New York Red Bulls Radio in English on TuneIn. New York Red Bulls Radio goes live at 12:30 p.m. ET with Honda Countdown to Kickoff, hosted by Matt Harmon and Steve Jolley.
