| Also, it’s worth pointing out that Jürgen Klinsmann will be naming his 23-man Copa Centenario squad at half-time in this game. He’s got 17 names to trim from his preliminary squad of 40. Who should make the cut? | |

| So we’ve got about an hour to kill before kick-off. (Actually, the 3.35pm start time probably doesn’t make too much difference; we we would have kicked off at about 3.20pm anyway. Televised MLS games are always late kicking off.) | |

| So Frank Lampard is named on the bench, as does Mix Diserkud, but no Kwadwo Poku in the NYC FC 18. Bradley Wright-Phillips begins up front for the Red Bulls, and his brother Shaun starts as a substitute. | |

| It’s MLS Rivalry Week, and this is the best game this weekend: Patrick Vieira’s NYC FC take on Jesse Marsch’s Red Bulls in their first derby of the season, and we’ve got something special to look forward to: Frank Lampard might play! The former Chelsea star hasn’t featured this season, but word is he could make his debut today, at least from the bench. | It’s MLS Rivalry Week, and this is the best game this weekend: Patrick Vieira’s NYC FC take on Jesse Marsch’s Red Bulls in their first derby of the season, and we’ve got something special to look forward to: Frank Lampard might play!

| NYC FC are second in the Eastern Conference after a decent recent run, and can leapfrog Philly with victory; the Red Bulls started this season in rotten fashion, but have picked up recently, and have not lost to their city rivals in three games. Pirlo, David Villa, Kljestan and Felipe are all scheduled to feature, and Yankee Stadium is expecting a big crowd. This game has been featured heavily in New York; let’s hope it lives up to the hype. Kick off is 3pm ET.

| While tension might end with supporters verbally sparring at a subway stop – or in a scuffle outside a New Jersey bar – one glaring caveat is the derby’s absence of history. After all, City have only just embarked upon their second season, after a disappointing inaugural campaign left the club short of the playoffs. So far, the Red Bulls have coasted to victory in all three derbies, but their fans still feel overshadowed by the presence of a new team that have encroached upon their territory. | While tension might end with supporters verbally sparring at a subway stop – or in a scuffle outside a New Jersey bar – one glaring caveat is the derby’s absence of history.

| For Red Bulls fans, many of whom followed the team as the New York/New Jersey Metro Stars in the 1990s, the club owed its roots to the very first awakening of American soccer fervor. At a time when the modest MLS was overshadowed by towering American sports figures like Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Emmitt Smith, the Empire Supporters Club gathered at Giants Stadium to support a team that existed in obscurity. | For Red Bulls fans, many of whom followed the team as the New York/New Jersey Metro Stars in the 1990s, the club owed its roots to the very first awakening of American soccer fervor.

| The ESC was established in 1995 by young socialists and political radicals, many of whom fought to keep a developing tide of far right-wing extremism out of American soccer leagues. The ESC not only claims to be the oldest MLS supporters group, but the rightful heirs of New York City’s developing soccer kingdom. | The ESC was established in 1995 by young socialists and political radicals, many of whom fought to keep a developing tide of far right-wing extremism out of American soccer leagues.

| Steve Ferrezza, a board member of the ESC, recalls the early days, when seats at Giants Stadium were largely empty but hearts were full, as the seeds of early fandom were planted. “I remember the days at Giants Stadium when there were only 2,000 people in the stadium. I would have to take the subway to Jersey Transit to a shuttle bus, and then run across the parking lot to get to the tailgate in time to pick up my ticket,” he says. | Steve Ferrezza, a board member of the ESC, recalls the early days, when seats at Giants Stadium were largely empty but hearts were full, as the seeds of early fandom were planted. “I remember the days at Giants Stadium when there were only 2,000 people in the stadium.

| While things have changed, and notably for the better – the Red Bulls no longer play at the since-demolished Giants Stadium, but at their own arena in Harrison, New Jersey – Ferrezza likens the emergence of City to a privileged neighbor stealing whatever limelight the Red Bulls battled for decades to attain. | While things have changed, and notably for the better – the Red Bulls no longer play at the since-demolished Giants Stadium, but at their own arena in Harrison, New Jersey – Ferrezza likens the emergence of City to a privileged neighbor stealing whatever limelight the Red Bulls battled for decades to attain. |
| “No pun intended, but [City supporters] were basically born on third base. They didn’t have to fight for anything,” says Ferrezza. | “No pun intended, but [City supporters] were basically born on third base. They didn’t have to fight for anything,” says Ferrezza. |
