Head Coach Chris Armas had decisions to make, with three of his four main starting back line away for national team duty.
Armas will deploy Connor Lade, Amro Tarek, Kyle Duncan and Tim Parker on defense.
"I think we're very confident with the guys that will step in," Armas said. "We got a glimpse of Amro in Columbus, and throughout preseason. We got to know him as a player and he fits, like we thought he would, he fits. When you think of the minutes that Kyle and Connor have received, those guys are ready for another big game."
Bradley Wright-Phillips will start up top, with Luis Robles in goal and wearing the captain's armband.
Vincent Bezecourt will start in the attacking midfield, flanked by Alex Muyl and Daniel Royer. Sean Davis and Marc Rzatkowski anchor the defensive midfield.
The Red Bulls will have Andreas Ivan, Sean Nealis, Omir Fernandez, Cristian Casseres, Jr., Mathias Jørgensen and Brian White available off the bench. Ryan Meara will serve as the backup goalkeeper.
Coverage of Saturday’s match will be on MSG+ and New York Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.
New York Red Bulls Radio begins at 6:30 p.m. ET with Countdown to Kickoff, presented by Honda, hosted by Matt Harmon and Steve Jolley. Ernesto Motta will have the Spanish play-by-play, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
