Tim Cahill dropped for New York Red Bulls, while D.C. United get Chris Rolfe back


Mike Petke has opted to play two true wingers instead of the Australian star.


Lineups are in for the Eastern Conference playoffs semifinal between New York Red Bulls and D.C. United, with some nice surprises.










United fans will be thrilled to see Chris Rolfe back on the bench, but they probably wish Sean Franklin was fit to start. As expected, Luis Silva isn't fit enough to play.


Surprisingly, Tim Cahill has been benched for the Red Bulls. They've gone to two true wingers and have moved Thierry Henry back inside, which is a bit surprising. Cahill hasn't been great recently and it's not easy to fit him and Henry into the same team, but Mike Petke's found a way most of the season. Apparently he's decided against it for this game.


Kickoff is just after 4 p.m. ET from Red Bull Arena. You can catch the game on Univision Deportes and MLS Live.
