Brad Guzan starts in goal in an announced move -- Tim Howard will start on Tuesday. DeAndre Yedlin, who has played more on the wing recently, gets the nod at right back. Fabian Johnson moves to left midfield, the position he plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Gyasi Zardes plays opposite him, while Bobby Wood partners Jozy Altidore up top.
Fans thought Klinsmann might give nods to new players Darlington Nagbe and Matt Miazga against the weakest opposition that the US will face in qualifying, but they have been left on the bench.
United States starting lineup (4-4-2): Brad Guzan; DeAndre Yedlin, Geoff Cameron, Matt Besler, Tim Ream; Gyasi Zardes, Jermaine Jones, Michael Bradley, Fabian Johnson; Bobby Wood, Jozy Altidore
St. Vincent and the Grenadines lineup (4-3-3): Winslow McDowall; Roy Richards, Reginald Richardson, Nazir McBurnette, Kevin Francis; Darren Hamlet, Millon Prescott, Seinard Bowens; Oalex Anderson, Tevin Slater, Gavin James
