• New England’s four-man back line of DeJuan Jones, Henry Kessler, Andrew Farrell, and Brandon Bye is making its sixth start together this season. The Revs allowed three goals in the previous five games when this combo started together.
• Matt Turner is searching for his sixth clean sheet of the season, which would set a new career high.
• Gustavo Bou, wearing the captains’ armband for the 11^th time this season, enters tonight’s contest on a two-game scoring streak. The team leader in goals (5), Bou ranks first in MLS in shots (53), tied for second in shots on goal (19), and his three game-winning goals are one behind the league lead.
• Lee Nguyen earns his fourth consecutive start and fifth straight appearance since re-joining the club on Sept. 8. With one assist, Nguyen (51G/49A) will become the first player in Revolution history to register 50 goals and 50 assists.  
• Brandon Bye maintains his position as the lone Revolution player to start all 15 matches this season. Bye leads the team in minutes played (1,121) and ranks third in MLS in duels won (104).
• Tajon Buchanan makes his career-high fourth consecutive start at right midfield tonight. The Canadian’s five starts this season are also a new personal best.
• Henry Kessler makes his 15^th appearance of the season and his 12^th start, both of which lead all 2020 MLS SuperDraft selections. His 1,103 minutes played lead all MLS rookies.
• Scott Caldwell earns his fourth consecutive start in the midfield, having registered 90-minute shifts in each of the last three matches.
• Tommy McNamara returns to the Starting XI for the first time since Sept. 19. He owns two assists in six appearances (four starts) since joining the Revolution on Aug. 17.
