VS. NEW YORK

When: 7:30.

Where: Home Depot Center.

On the air: TV: FSC, FSE. Radio: 690.

Records: Chivas USA 11-9-4, Red Bulls 4-17-5.

Record vs. Red Bulls: 1-0.

Update: Tonight’s match is a must-win for injury-depleted Chivas, which cannot afford anything fewer than three points against the league’s weakest team. No fewer than 12 of Chivas Coach Preki’s squad of 30 are either out for the season, recovering from long-term injuries, still banged up, suspended or on international duty. Midfielder/defender Marcelo Saragosa is suspended for this game and the next after his red card in last weekend’s 0-0 tie at Seattle.
