New York City FC and New York Red Bulls are set to lock horns in the Hudson river derby on Wednesday when they play in MLS.
NYCFC head into the fixture on the back of a 2-0 loss at Philadelphia, while the Red Bulls will be the more confident side after managing to nick a late point from the Vancouver Whitecaps in a 2-2 draw.
It will be the fist regular-season meeting between the two sides after the Red Bulls won 4-0 at home against their New York rivals in May, while NYCFC then answered with a 1-0 victory at Yankee Stadium in July.
