Jesse Marsch and the New York Red Bulls will have Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup Final to thank for the team's deep bench on Sunday against the Philadelphia Union.





Sacha Kljestan, Bradley Wright-Phillips, Tyler Adams, Aaron Long and Fidel Escobar will all be available to Marsch as subs off the bench vs. Union.



The Starting XI will see Luis Robles in goal. Damien Perrinelle, Connor Lade and Sal Zizzo will be at the back, winged by Michael Amir Murillo and Alex Muyl.


Robles' will extend his MLS ironman streak to 168th-straight games.


Felipe, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Muhamed Keita and Sean Davis will lead the midfield charge, with Gonzalo Veron getting the start at forward.


This will be Keita's first start after two previous appearances as a sub, while Felipe will continue to start every game of the Red Bulls' 2017 campaign (MLS, CONCACAF Champions League, U.S. Open Cup).



The four Homegrown players in the Starting XI will tie the Red Bulls' franchise record for most in a starting lineup.


Dilly Duka and Ryan Meara are also available off the bench.


Kemar Lawrence is not on the gameday roster as a coach's decision to rest the defender.
