A lot of MLS teams have been decimated by international call-ups and injuries, but none more than the New York Red Bulls. Their lineup has an incredibly makeshift look to it, with third choice players starting at striker, central defense, and goalkeeper. Columbus have a first choice lineup available to them, but it’s debatable whether or not that makes them favorites, even at home. Last week, their performance against D.C. United was abysmal, and Robert Warzycha has admitted as much. Here are your starting lineups.
Columbus Crew Vs. New York Red Bulls: Lineups
New York Red Bulls lineup (4-4-1-1): Horwath; Borman, Mendes, Keel, Miller; Lindpere, Tainio, Tchani, Solli; Ballouchy; Rodgers

If you want to watch this match, you can catch it on local television in New York or Columbus, as well as on MLS Direct Kick or Matchday Live. Interestingly enough, on MSG, Direct Kick, and MDL, the awesome Glenn Davis is filling in on the play by play as his regular gig, calling Houston Dynamo games, was outsourced to JP Dellacamera and Fox Soccer Channel this week.
