USA team news and form: Poch to make changes

Surely, the Argentine manager will give some of his substitutes a chance for some first-team action against Mexico. Some of the US’ finest took part in the match against Panama a few days ago. It’s time for the manager to familiarize himself with what the rest can bring to the table.

Predicted lineup: Turner (GK), Fossey, Wiley, McKenzie, Hansen, De La Torre, Musah, Cowell, Aaronson, Pepi & Balogun

Player to watch: Cesar Huerta

Since the start of the Liga MX campaign, Huerta managed to produce four goal returns. He is undoubtedly one of the key players for the visitors and should be among the starters for coach Javier Aguirre on the 16th of October.

Second player to watch: Christian Pulisic

Pulisic scored a goal and provided a teammate with an assist in recent games. There’s no reason for us to believe he will do poorly against Mexico as well. Moreover, he is the team captain. He will surely be used in the match this week.
