Columbus Crew team news and form: What will Nancy come up with?
Hernandez is no longer a part of the team. To make matters worse, the Crew’s coach won’t be able to count on new arrival Lassi Lappalainen due to his injury status. Surely, this will put more pressure on young Max Arfsten to succeed.
Predicted lineup: Schulte (GK), Zawadzki, Cheberko, Herrera, Chambost, Farsi, Nagbe, Jones, Arfsten, Rossi & Russell-Rowe

Player to watch: Diego Rossi
Now that Cucho Hernandez is out of the picture, it’s up to Diego Rossi to step up and be the man of the hour for coach Nancy. So far, Rossi has scored two goals for his team this season. It’s fair to say that the attacking midfielder has the right stuff to prove our top Columbus Crew vs New York City predictions correct.
Second player to watch: Mitja Ilenic
Right-back Mitja Ilenic was lucky enough to score his first-ever New York City goal a few days ago. However, we are sure it will serve as a motivation booster and he will do his best to find another one as soon as possible.
