Starting XI: GK Brad Knighton, D DeJuan Jones, D Andrew Farrell, D Henry Kessler, D Brandon Bye, M Maciel, M Matt Polster, M Wilfrid Kaptoum, M Carles Gil ©, F Gustavo Bou, F Adam Buksa

• Today’s starting group features one change from the previous match as Wilfrid Kaptoum starts in place of Teal Bunbury.
• Brad Knighton earns the start in net for the second straight game as Matt Turner remains on international duty with the U.S. Men’s National Team. The 15th-year pro made four saves in his season debut last Wednesday. He owns a 0-1-1 record against Atlanta United, with one shutout.
• Andrew Farrell becomes the third player in club history to collect 250 regular season starts in a New England uniform, joining Matt Reis (253) and Shalrie Joseph (254). Farrell is quickly approaching the club records for MLS appearances, starts, and minutes played, all held by Joseph.
• Wilfrid Kaptoum makes his seventh appearance and third start of the season, his first with the Revolution. The 25-year-old’s last start came at home on May 22, a 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls.
• Carles Gil, Gustavo Bou, and Adam Buksa appear together in the Starting XI for the second straight game and fifth time this season. Gil and Buksa each netted a goal in New England’s most recent match against Toronto FC on July 7. The trio has factored into 19 of the Revolution’s 22 goals scored this season.
• Gil is one of two Revolution players to play every minute this season, alongside Farrell. The 28-year-old Spanish midfielder recorded a goal and an assist in the season’s previous meeting with Atlanta.
• Gustavo Bou, making his 11th start of the season of the season, will look to add to his team-high six goals. The Argentinian striker is looking to spark a new scoring streak after scoring in five straight games from May 22 - July 3.
• Adam Buksa earns his eighth start of the season as he plays in his 41st consecutive appearance (regular season and playoffs). Buksa, who celebrated his 25th birthday on July 12, is the only Revolution player to appear in every game since the start of the 2020 season.
• Matt Polster continues to appear in every contest in 2021, starting all but one. Today marks his 25th start with the Revolution across the regular season and playoffs.
• Brazilian midfielder Maciel makes his fourth consecutive start and his 10th of the season.
• Brandon Bye makes his 90th MLS appearance today. The fourth-year defender netted a goal in the Revolution’s 2-1 win over Atlanta earlier this season. Bye has gone the distance in the Revs’ last nine matches.
• DeJuan Jones is set to register his 40th MLS start today. The 24-year-old left back ranks first on the team in interceptions (23) and second in possession won (88).
• Henry Kessler logs his third consecutive start and his ninth of the season in central defense alongside Farrell. Kessler leads the team in blocked shots (9).

Bench: GK Earl Edwards Jr., D Jon Bell, D A.J. DeLaGarza, D Christian Mafla, M Arnór Traustason, M Scott Caldwell, M Emmanuel Boateng, M Tommy McNamara, F Teal Bunbury

• Christian Mafla appears on the matchday roster for the third time this season – the last time on May 1 when Atlanta visited Gillette Stadium. The 28-year-old left back has made one start with New England (April 24).
• Teal Bunbury has made 10 appearances this season and 301 in his MLS career. He owns one goal in seven career games played against Atlanta.
• Emmanuel Boateng is available on the bench after collecting an assist in his Revolution debut last Wednesday.
• Tommy McNamara is one of six Revolution players to have played in all 13 games this season. McNamara owns one goal and two assists on the year.
• Arnór Traustason has played in every game since joining the Revolution in April. The Icelandic midfielder owns two assists in 12 MLS appearances.
• Jon Bell has played in six contests this season, starting five.
• Earl Edwards Jr. will backup Brad Knighton today as he makes his second appearance on the New England’s matchday roster.
