New York City needs to reassure itself in the final sprint of the MLS regular season. They are slipping back in the Eastern Conference standings. They haven't won in nearly 7 MLS matches. A complicated series that has seen them drop to 6th place in their conference. However, Nicholas Cushing's team has had to travel a lot in recent weeks. And their next game will be at home. New York City will take on the Philadelphia Union, this Thursday at Yankee Stadium. New York City is the second-best team in the league but has taken 7 points from its last 3 home games.

And Philadelphia Union are well down in the Eastern Conference standings. They're in 11th place. They can still hope to make the playoffs, as they are only 3 points off the top 9. But Jim Curtin's men will have to get back on track. They have lost 2 of their last 3 MLS games. To make matters worse, they have lost 5 of their last 6 league games. So it's hard to be optimistic for Philadelphia Union when they take on New York City.
