Players to Watch

Brooks Lennon (Atlanta United) - The starting XI for Atlanta United has fluctuated over the course of the season, but one consistent piece is Brooks Lennon. The fullback from Paradise Valley, Arizona has logged the most minutes of any player on the team, starting all 20 of Atlanta United's regular season matches in 2024. The 26-year-old is earning his nickname, Mr. Reliable. On Saturday, Lennon made his 150th appearance for Atlanta United in all competitions, fourth-most in club history.

Dylan Borrero (New England Revolution) - The Colombian midfielder is a 22-year-old playmarker. He's currently tied second in assists for New England along with teammate Emmanuel Boateng. In the absence of 2021 MLS Most Valuable Player Carles Gil, the Revs will look to Borrero to create Wednesday at Gillette Stadium.
