Three points on Wednesday night and the New York Red Bulls are in the playoffs -- and they'll have John Tolkin and Caden Clark back in the Starting XI.

Tolkin missed the past few games with a hamstring injury but is back in the lineup on Wednesday. He'll start alongside Andrés Reyes, Sean Nealis and Kyle Duncan.

Sean Davis and Dru Yearwood will anchor the defensive midfield, while Caden Clark, Fábio and Cristian Cásseres Jr. push the attack forward. Patryk Klimala starts up top.

Clark is back in the XI after notching the game-winning assist on Saturday night in New York's 1-0 victory over CF Montréal.

The Red Bulls will have Frankie Amaya, Tom Barlow, Wiki Carmona, Youba Diarra, Tom Edwards, Cameron Harper, Lucas Monzón and Danny Royer. Ryan Meara will serve as the backup goalkeeper.

Head Coach Gerhard Struber will be suspended for the match due to technical staff yellow card accumulation. Bradley Carnell and Bernd Eibler will co-manage the match.

Omir Fernandez remains sidelined with an injury, while Andrew Gutman is not on the matchday roster due to his intraleague loan from Atlanta.

"The player may not compete against his former club during the MLS Season while on loan (includes MLS League Season games and all other competitions)," according to MLS Roster Rules.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET with coverage on MSG+, MSG GO, and New York Red Bulls Radio in English and Spanish via TuneIn, the New York Red Bulls app and NewYorkRedBulls.com.
