UEFA Champions League and Serie A was judged to be more immediate than participation in a friendly.
Pepi, who scored the second goal for the USMNT after coming off the bench in the 67th minute, has been critical to their perfect start to PSV’s Eredivisie season, and is expected to play on Saturday against AZ Alkmaar. Due to injury and fitness concerns, McKennie, Fossey and Steffen didn’t feature in Pochettino’s first match.
Mexico Starting 11 Predictions
The rivalry between the USMNT and El Tri has shifted in favor of the United States over the past four years. In fact, the last time Mexico won was in September 2019. Despite this, the last time the USMNT won on Mexican soil was in 2012 at a friendly at Azteca during Jurgen Klinsmann’s reign.
Mexico were recently eliminated from Copa America in the group stage and fired their manager afterwards. They hired Javier Aguirre to replace Jimmy Lozano. This is Aguirre’s third time at the top, having managed them at the 2002 World Cup and the 2010 World Cup.
Aguirre called up 27 players for Mexico’s friendlies, including 19 players from Liga MX, and eight overseas, including two from the 
Premier League. Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and 
Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez were included in this roster. Alvarez and Jimenez both came on as substitutes in a friendly against Valencia. Expect the pair to start against the USMNT. El Tri most recently drew Valencia last weekend despite having a two-goal lead.
Predicted starting lineup: Raúl Rangel, Jorge Sanchez, Jesús Orozco, Cesár Montes, Bryan González, Edson Alvarez, Luis Romo, Charly Rodriguez, Alexis Vega, Ozziel Herrera, Raúl Jimenez
USMNT Starting 11 Predictions
While fans are accustomed to Pulisic being the center of the attack for America on the left side, his absence allows for Haji Wright to get a start. Wright, who tallied an assist coming off the bench against Panama, is the ideal fit considering his current fitness at Coventry City where he has scored three times across his nine appearances for the Championship club.
Brandon Vazquez’s experience against Liga MX defenders could provide an excellent opportunity for America’s attack. This season he has notched three goals in six games for Monterrey. Malik Tillman could get an opportunity in the attack. He came on as a substitute in Saturday’s win over Panama.
Predicted starting lineup: Matt Turner, Joe Scally, Tim Ream, Mark McKenzie, Antonee Robinson, Gianluca Busio, Aidan Morris, Yunus Musah, Haji Wright, Josh Sargent, Malik Tillman
