Overview
- Nashville has a four-game winning streak and 52 points after a 4-0 win over FC Cincinnati that extended their lead at the top of MLS.
- Goalkeeper Brian Schwake has emerged as the starter and recorded his 10th clean sheet as Nashville’s defense has conceded a league-low 17 goals.
- Sam Surridge (13 goals) and Hany Mukhtar (10 goals) supply the attack and both scored in the recent 4-0 victory that highlighted Nashville’s balance.
- Nashville travels to Yankee Stadium to face New York City FC on Friday, Sept. 4, with the match streaming exclusively on Apple TV.
- NYCFC enter the game on a multi-match winless run despite Nicolas Fernandez’s 14 goals, and Nashville’s form raises the likelihood the winners widen their gap in the Supporters' Shield race.
