FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution (10-3-7; 37 pts.) will visit the New York Red Bulls in a battle between two original MLS clubs on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV. Kevin Egan and Taylor Twellman will call the match in English, with Bruno Vain and Andres Agulla providing Spanish commentary. Saturday's match can also be heard on the radio locally on 98.5 The Sports Hub, with Brad Feldman and Charlie Davies on the call, and on 1260 AM Nossa Radio USA in Portuguese.

New England has collected points in its last seven games, 3-0-4, heading into Matchday 23, the longest active streak without a loss in MLS. The Revolution have earned draws in their last three matches away from home. New England has claimed victories in three of the lats five encounters with the Red Bulls, and own the advantage in the all-time series with a 34-29-17 mark. New York, 1-3-0 in its last four games, carries a 4-2-4 home record in Harrison this season. Troy Lesesne has guided New York to a 4-3-2 record since taking over in May. The Red Bulls have struggled offensively, as their 18 goals are tied for second fewest, but they have balanced that with a stingy defense, which has conceded only 20 goals on the year, tied for third best.

Last weekend, the Revolution battled Supporters' Shield leader FC Cincinnati to a 2-2 draw in Ohio. The two sides finish the season series even with a pair of draws, as Saturday's result saw New England become the first visiting team to register a result at TQL Stadium this season. Forward Gustavo Bou played a role in both of New England's goals, forcing a Cincinnati own goal after his long-range shot forced a rebound, before netting his fourth tally of the season just nine minutes later. The Argentinian striker has reached the scoresheet in two of the last three games, with two goals and one assist. Over six career appearances against the Red Bulls, Bou has netted a team-best five goals along with two assists.

New England will be without its top playmaker, midfielder and 2023 MLS All-Star Carles Gil, who is suspended for Saturday's contest against New York due to yellow card accumulation. Forward Bobby Wood, tied with Gil for the team lead in goals scored with seven tallies this season, is set to make his 50th MLS appearance on Saturday. Midfielder Matt Polster is also due to make his 175th MLS regular season appearance in MLS play. Meanwhile, newly acquired midfielder Ian Harkes is eligible for his club debut after signing with New England this season.
