Atlanta United will entertain New York City FC at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the final game of the MLS season on Sunday (October 9).

New York, meanwhile, are in the playoffs and can afford to take a breather here. They have seen a late spurt in form, recording consecutive wins. They came from behind to beat Orlando City 2-1 in their last outing.
