Toronto FC vs. New York City FC: What you need to know

Toronto FC's search for a second win of the season continues.

Fresh off a humbling 4-2 loss away to the Philadelphia Union last week, TFC needs to dust themselves off and put in a much better effort when it hosts New York City FC this weekend.

"[Philadelphia was] up for the battle, for the fight in that game. ... They went full throttle from the beginning, and we were easing into it which we shouldn't have, just knowing how games away to Philly are for any team in the league," Richie Laryea told TFC Republic this week.

Here’s what you need to know about Saturday's game between TFC and NYCFC at BMO Field (7:30 p.m. ET/Apple TV).
