Wednesday, July 6, 2011 (All times Eastern) Toronto FC (3-7-9) at New York (5-3-10), 8 p. Jarrett Boykin Authentic Jersey .m. Harrison, NJ (Sports Network) - Red Bull New York can claim the top spot in the Eastern Coference with a win over Toronto FC Wednesday night at Red Bull Arena. New York is coming off a 2-2 draw at San Jose on Saturday night, its 10th draw of the season. Joel Lindpere notched a brace for the Red Bulls as he continued his fine run of form, scoring three goals in his last two matches. Toronto has won its last two matches, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 1-0 in Major League Soccer action last Wednesday as well as 2-1 in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship on Saturday. In its most recent MLS match, Toronto topped its Western Canadian rival thanks to a penalty conversion by Nick Soolsma in the 54th minute. Torontos road form has been less than stellar thus far, as it still has yet to record a win in eight matches away from BMO Field this season. The Red Bulls, meanwhile, have been quite effective at Red Bull Arena, winning four and drawing three out of a total of eight matches. They will be buoyed by returning home after a long road trip that included three games on the West Coast along with a match in Chicago. New York tied three matches and fell to the Seattle Sounders 4-2 during the two-week road trip. It remains uncertain what kind of roles Thierry Henry and Luke Rodgers will play for the Red Bulls Wednesday night. Henry missed New Yorks last match as he was experiencing some flu-like symptoms, and Rodgers has been absent for several weeks with plantar fascilitis in his left foot. Torontos squad is looking a little thin, picking up some injuries to key players in the consecutive victories over Vancouver. Defender Ty Harden was substituted in the NCC victory over Vancouver due to injury, and remains questionable for Wednesday nights match despite training with the team on Tuesday. Richard Eckersley has excelled while filling in at center back, but it remains a mystery as to who will partner him at that position Wednesday. New York currently sits in second place in the Eastern Conference, while Toronto is in eighth. A Toronto victory will take it within just four points of its opponents, and a New York win will see it advance ahead of Philadelphia for the top spot.Mason Crosby .
