Fresh off picking up their first MLS win of the season, Toronto FC will play host to New York City FC at the BMO Field Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the game on a two-match losing streak and will look to arrest their slump in form.
Toronto FC got their season up and running with a 2-1 victory over DC United. Before that, they were winless in their opening three games of the season, picking up a draw and two losses.
The win saw Toronto rise to 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings, leapfrogging Inter Miami and Montreal in the bottom two places.
Meanwhile, New York failed to return to winning ways, as they were beaten 2-0 by Philadelphia Union on home turf. That followed a 4-2 defeat at Comunicaciones FC in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions League last-eight clash.
New York are currently level on four points with Toronto and New England Revolution in the standings.
