Key Players To Watch: Toluca vs New York City FC

Paulinho (Toluca)- The 32-year-old striker from Portugal has been on fire for Toluca as of late. He has scored 4 goals in his last 3 matches, and he doesn't look like stopping in this fixture either. He is a great hold-up play striker and has a significant physical presence.

Alonso Martinez (New York City FC)- The Costa Rican forward is the standout player for New York at the moment despite their poor form. In their last MLS game, Martinez scored a hattrick in a 4-3 away win against Dallas. However, in their first Leagues Cup game game he was named as a substitute and didn't really get a chance to change their fortunes.
