Union-Crew: Lineups and prematch observations

UNION (4-2-3-1) 
Blake 
Rosenberry-Elliott-Trusty-Fabinho 
Bedoya-Medunjanin 
Herbers-Dockal-Accam 
Sapong 
Bench: McCarthy, Marquez, Gaddis, Jones, Fontana, Burke, Simpson
 
Crew (4-2-3-1) 
Steffen 
Afful-Mensah-Abubakar-Valenzuela 
Artur-Trapp 
Martinez-Higuain-Santos 
Zardes 
Bench: Kempin, Williams, Abu, Argudo, Clark, Jimenez, Hansen 

- The Borek Dockal era starts today from the start. I’d suspected that Jim Curtin might name Anthony Fontana as a starter again this week after his strong debut, but it’s not so. Fontana starts on the bench and Dockal, who probably isn’t 90 minutes fit, goes from the start.

- No other changes from the Union, which is to be expected. Same bench, too, save for Eric Ayuk out to accommodate Dockal’s arrival.

- The unbeaten Crew also name an unchanged side. Look for the challenge posed by Gyasi Zardes getting physical with Auston Trusty and company and the service into the starting forward. The Union also have to do a good job reducing the time and space given to Wil Trapp and Artur in the middle of the field.
