- Chad Marshall returns to the starting lineup after missing the previous three matches with lower back pain.
- Nicolas Lodeiro has switched from starting on the right side and into the central attacking midfield role, pushing Clint Dempsey to the left and Harry Shipp to the right. Jordan Morris returns to his regular role at forward after spending the previous three games on the left wing.
