New York City FC will have another opportunity to end their winless streak on Friday. An Eastern Conference clash against the Chicago Fire is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
What They're Saying
City midfielder Ned Grabavoy (via MLS): "We've hit rock bottom and we need to work harder and look forward to the next game. It just feels like this momentum against us right now is such a headwind. We're trying anything and everything we can to break out of this and start finding results."
Fire manager Frank Yallop: "We tied a ton of games last year, I'd have taken a tie [vs. RSL] for sure. It's still in the making a little bit. We've not been dull, that's for sure. We've just got to figure out as a group, and I'm the leader of it all, just a way of getting to grind some results, get back into games and not give up goals when you're on the front foot."
The In-Form Player
David Villa's frustration is mounting. A true forward, the Spanish international has been subjected to operating as a left midfielder due to his team's inability to hold possession in the midfield. Forcing the issue, Villa has two goals and an assist.
Projected Lineups
City (4-4-1-1): Saunders; Allen, Wingert, Hernandez, Williams; Alvarez, Jacobson, Diskerud, Shelton; Villa; Mullins
Chicago (4-4-2): Johnson; Jones, Adailton, Larentowicz, Palmer; Maloney, Ritter, Polster, Shipp; Prado, Amarikwa
