If it’s not broke….

I think Atlanta United will start the same 11 on Sunday against NYCFC that it started in last week’s 4-1 win over Houston.

Hector Villalba will lead the attack, with Miguel Almiron, fresh off his first hat trick, playing in support as an attacking midfielder.

Yamil Asad and Julian Gressel, after arguably their best games, will fill in on the flanks.

The defense will stay the same with Carlos Carmona and Jeff Larentowicz as the holding midfielders, Ty Mears and Greg Garza as the fullbacks, Michael Parkhurst and Leandro Gonzalez Pirez as the centerhalves, and Alec Kann as the goalie.

The two teams have met once this season with NYCFC winning 3-1 at Yankee Stadium.
