Fábio is back in the Starting XI for New York, as they take on Inter Miami CF from DRV PNK Stadium in Florida.

Fábio is joined by Patryk Klimala, Wiki Carmona and Omir Fernandez in the attack.

Klimala scored his fifth goal of the season on Tuesday against Columbus Crew. Klimala has now recorded four of his five goals on the road this year, with his lone home goal coming on July 8 against Philadelphia Union. He has been involved in three of New York’s last five goals, with two goals and one assist.

Sean Davis and Dru Yearwood look to lock down the defensive midfield, while John Tolkin, Andrés Reyes, Sean Nealis and Tom Edwards fill out the backline.

Carlos Coronel starts in goal.

The Red Bulls have only allowed 26 shots on target since the beginning of August, which is the fourth lowest in MLS.

Along the bench for New York, Head Coach Gerhard Struber has Frankie Amaya, Tom Barlos, Cristian Cásseres Jr., Caden Clark, Kyle Duncan, Andrew Gutman, Cameron Harper and Omar Sowe. AJ Marcucci will serve as backup goalkeeper.

Danny Royer remains out.

Kickoff at DRV PNK Stadium is set for 7 p.m. ET with coverage on FS1, FOX Deportes and New York Red Bulls Radio in English and Spanish via TuneIn, the New York Red Bulls app and NewYorkRedBulls.com.

New York Red Bulls Radio begins at 6 p.m. EST with Countdown to Kickoff, presented by Honda, hosted by Matt Harmon and Steve Jolley. Stefano Fusaro will carry the Spanish play-by-play responsibilities, beginning at 6:30 p.m. EST.

This will be the first of two meetings between New York and Miami this season. New York and Miami met two times last season, with both teams earning three points on the road. Inter Miami CF extended their unbeaten streak to six games after defeating Toronto FC (1-0) on Tuesday. Since July 22, they have earned seven of their nine wins this season.
