Season so far:
Los Angeles FC:
Six-wins and one draw- That’s how Los Angeles FC started the 2019 MLS season.
They may have lost 3 times in the last 16 league games, but Los Angeles remains by far the best team in the regular season.
As things stand, they are leading the conference table by 13 points.
New York Red Bulls:
Last season’s Eastern Conference leaders are 4th on the table. To be true, the finals standings at the end of the regular season’s are not significant until and unless a team is not in the playoffs.
First and the main target for Red Bulls should be to nail down a spot in the post-season and at the moment, they look much very much the part of the contingent who is expected to be in the playoffs.

New York Red Bulls FC Team News:
New York Red Bulls Probable XI:
Likely to score:
Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Carlos Vela: The former Arsenal star is a clear frontrunner for the coveted MVP. Not only he has scored the most goals so far this season, but the 30-year-old has been the league’s cut-above creative player this season.
Season 2019 stats:
Diego Rossi: So much as Carlos Vela’s remarkable season, he can’t carry the team all alone on his shoulder and in Diego Rossi, he has got somebody who is capable enough to share the responsibility of both scoring and creating.
Daniel Royer: Can play in a variety of position. And considering that more often than not he plays behind the forward line, the return of 8 goals from 17 odd games, is simply incredible.
Brian White: The young forward is into his 2nd MLS season and by the look of things, he has improved a lot from last season, already bettering the numbers he racked up last season.
Suggested combination:
LAF vs NYRB Dream11 potential winner: The hosts are the clear favorites to win the match.
