HARRISON, N.J. (July 31, 2015) - The New York Red Bulls head down I-95 this weekend for a match against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday evening. Kickoff at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., is set for 7 p.m. Coverage on MSG will begin at 6:30 with Red Bulls Game Night.

The teams square off again less than two weeks removed from a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal, where the Union eliminated New York from the competition on penalties after a 1-1 draw.  

Philadelphia has had New York's number this season. The Union were the first team to beat New York at home, dealing the Red Bulls a 2-0 loss at Red Bull Arena on May 24.

The Red Bulls enter after two wins in the International Champions Cup, a 4-2 win over Chelsea FC, including goals from three Red Bulls Academy products, and a 2-1 win over S.L. Benfica with tallies from Bradley Wright-Phillips and Mike Grella.

In its last league outing, the Red Bulls won their second-straight, and fourth in the last five league matches, with a 2-0 victory at Orlando City on July 18. Sacha Kljestan scored on a laser from distance, and Grella added an insurance goal late to see New York by Kaka and the Lions.

Philadelphia went up 2-0 in the first four minutes at RFK Stadium last weekend against D.C. United, but surrendered three goals to conference-leading D.C. for a second-straight loss.

Newly-signed Shaun Wright-Phillips, the brother of Bradley who joins New York after a lengthy career in England's Premier League, will be available for selection this weekend. SWP joins from Queens Park Rangers, and previously spent time with Manchester City and Chelsea. He also scored six goals in 36 appearances for England, and played in two matches for the Three Lions during the 2010 World Cup.

After Philadelphia, the Red Bulls will travel to Montreal midweek to face the Impact. The Red Bulls are back home next Sunday, August 9, for a third and final regular season meeting with New York City FC.
