New England Revolution - New York City FC

New England Revolution aim to build on their emphatic midweek victory as they return to Gillette Stadium on 23 August 2026 for matchday 21 of the Major League Soccer season. After a difficult spell, the hosts rediscovered their clinical edge in a 3-0 win over DC United, a performance that will provide confidence as they prepare to face New York City FC. The expected XI, anchored by Matt Turner and playmaker Carles Gil, appears well-balanced to challenge the visitors.

New York City FC arrive in Massachusetts looking to recover from a difficult week, having suffered back-to-back defeats against FC Cincinnati and Philadelphia Union. With Kai Trewin sidelined due to injury, the visitors will rely on the experience of Keaton Parks and James Sands to stabilize their midfield. History suggests a tight contest, as the two sides have traded results in recent Major League Soccer meetings.
