Maxwell Woledzi is named to the backline after keeping yet another clean sheet. Through eight matches in MLS, the 'Yotes have allowed just four goals. In all competitions, they've given up merely five goals, by far their best performance to date.

Hany Mukhtar earns his first nod of the season. After scoring the game-winner at the Azteca midweek, the captain set up both of Nashville's goals against the Five Stripes.
