• Andrew Farrell makes his 245^th MLS regular season appearance tonight – and his 17^th against Columbus -- all with New England.

• Brazilian midfielder Maciel makes his fourth consecutive start, and his third next to Matt Polster in central midfield. The 21-year-old began the weekend ranking among the top-five MLS leaders in passing accuracy with a 92.3% success rate (min. 100 attempts).
• Matt Polster returns to the starting lineup after recording an 11-minute shift off the bench on Wednesday. Polster ranks second on the team in tackles won (5) and tied for second in possessions won (30).
