Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC. The first-division clash scheduled for 7 p.m. ET will be held at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey and can be live streamed free here. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via MLS's official website): "There's nine points left on the table. If we take nine points, I'm pretty sure we're going to be right there. I think taking seven points gives you a really good chance. So until somebody tells me that mathematically we're no longer in it, every single guy in this locker room is still going to be believing."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The future of New York's Thierry Henry remains uncertain, but the 37-year-old has 10 goals and 10 assists in 28 league appearances.
New York Red Bulls' Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Robles; Duvall, Armando, Olave, Eckersley; McCarty, Alexander, Sam; Henry, Wright-Phillips, Sene
Toronto FC's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Bendik; Bloom, Hagglund, Caldwell, Morrow; Oduro, Bradley, Bekker, Jackson; Moore, Defoe
