The new MLS season kicks off on Sunday - but who will you be supporting? If you havent got a team, find out who you should follow below, based on your favourite Premier League team. Then follow your new side on Sky Sports - all the way to the MLS Cup final... Arsenal - New York Red Bulls Thierry Henry used to play for New York Red Bulls Thierry Henry has played for both clubs but the similarities dont end there. Arsenal have won the FA Cup for the last two seasons, while the Red Bulls have won the Supporters Shield in 2013 and 2015.However, both are on the hunt for an elusive title despite consistently finishing high up the table. Aston Villa - Chicago Fire Shaun Maloney used to play for Aston Villa and Chicago Fire Chicago Fire finished bottom of the MLS standings last season and were cut adrift from the rest of the pack… ring any bells Villa fans? However, like Villa, both are building for the future with some good young players. Shaun Maloney also had stints at both clubs.Bournemouth - New England Revolution Robert Kraft (R) with New England coach Jay Heaps (L) Similar to Bournemouth, New England play an attractive brand of football with a good young crop of players.The Revolution also have the capability to surprise - just like Bournemouth, who have beaten Chelsea and Manchester United this season. Chelsea - Montreal Impact Former Chelsea star Didier Drogba plays for Montreal Impact The Didier Drogba connection and the fact both clubs wear blue makes Montreal and Chelsea the perfect match.Montreal have financial clout in the league and an owner who isnt afraid to make managerial changes if he feels success is not imminent.In the four seasons Montreal have played in the MLS, there have been three managerial sackings.Crystal Palace - San Jose Earthquakes San Jose Earthquakes fans are known to be noisy particularly away from home With a very vocal fanbase, the Earthquakes are the noisy neighbours to their state rivals and fight against the more financially lucrative clubs nearby. They always like to punch above their weight.Everton - Real Salt Lake Former Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake contain some very good attacking players and are always expected to feature in the top half of the table.Former head coach Jason Kreis was similar to David Moyes in how he brought a strong identity to the club on the pitch, with the blueprint one which the club follows to this day.Leicester City - Columbus Crew Kei Kamara is one of Columbus two main stars In terms of status, Columbus and Leicester could both be considered smaller clubs in their respective leagues and play in front of passionate fans from industrious cities. Similarly to Leicester, Columbus have the potential and playing style to cause a serious upset and last season reached the MLS Cup final.While Leicesters star duo are Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, the Crew also have a premier pair in Kei Kamara and Ethan Finlay.Liverpool - Toronto FC Toronto invest big in their attack on players such as Sebastian Giovinco One of the more northern sides in MLS, Toronto FC, like Liverpool, are extremely popular in their city, and wear red.However, league success seems to be hard to come by right now, despite Toronto investing large sums into their attack. Their defence needs work. Manchester City - New York City FC Frank Lampard played for Manchester City The connections between these two are obvious. Both have the same owners, personnel can be shared while both have plentiful resources to be successful teams.NYCFC also have fierce red-wearing rivals across the city. These two go hand-in-hand.Manchester United - LA Galaxy David Beckham played for Manchester United and LA Galaxy Both Manchester United and LA Galaxy are the most successful league clubs in their respective countries.While Uniteds best years came under Sir Alex Ferguson, for LA Galaxy, Bruce Arena was the inspirational leader, taking the team to three MLS Cup titles in eight years.Yes, supporting a team featuring Steven Gerrard may not sit well with some United fans but remember, Old Trafford hero David Beckham won two MLS Cups in Los Angeles. Newcastle United - Philadelphia Union Union fans havent been impressed with their teams performances in recent times The Union are based in the heartland of one of the countrys major industrial centres, theres clear discord between passionate fans and their owners while on the pitch the team are prone to under-perform despite the funding available.Norwich City - Colorado Rapids Colorado Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni Neither Colorado, who are owned by Arsenals majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, or Norwich like to spend outside their means, while both teams are happy to maintain a healthy league status with any cup or league success a bonus.Southampton - Sporting Kansas City Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes with Barack Obama Like Southampton, Kansas aim for a positive, attractive style of play and their highly-experienced manager knows how to achieve success in the transfer market. Stoke City - FC Dallas Toyota Stadium - the home of FC Dallas Dallas have quick, exciting players in forward positions who can cause real damage when in form, as well as hard-working defenders and midfielders.Dallas Toyota Stadium in Frisco is also an infamously tough place for away teams to visit - just like the Britannia.Sunderland - Houston Dynamo Houston Dynamo head coach Owen Coyle Houston are regularly in direct competition with their fierce rivals across the state - Dallas - similar to Sunderlands rivalry with Newcastle.Houston have struggled to compete against the bigger clubs as they tend to be near the bottom end of the table, but they do have an experienced manager in Owen Coyle. Swansea City - Vancouver Whitecaps Carl Robinson is Vancouver Whitecaps Welsh head coach On their day, Vancouver can be one of the best teams to watch in the league. The Whitecaps - managed by Welshman Carl Robinson - have always looked to exceed their levels of expectation on a small budget and search far and wide in the transfer market to make the correct acquisitions. However, their inconsistency can be their downfall.Tottenham Hotspur - Seattle Sounders Clint Dempsey played for Tottenham before moving to Seattle in 2012 Tottenham and Seattle have switched players in the past, with Clint Dempsey heading Stateside and DeAndre Yedlin joining Spurs. Seattle have spent large sums on players in the past without any massive pressure to achieve title wins, and have a positive recent track history of pushing through young domestic players into the first team.Watford - Orlando City Kaka is Orlando Citys star man Kaka is the club talisman for Orlando, just like Troy Deeney is for Watford, and the Brazilian is surrounded by an international team of players from far-flung lands.The ambitious Orlando owners arent afraid to upset the bigger teams. West Brom - DC United DC United are known to be a strong team defensively Like West Brom, DC United are solid, hard-working and operate on a small budget. They dont play the most aesthetically pleasing football and havent enjoyed top success for a number of years, but do have a proud history and are always very tough to play.Head coach Ben Olsen is similar to Tony Pulis in how he likes to run a tight ship with discipline the key ingredient.West Ham - Portland Timbers Portlands mascot Timber Joey Portland are a strong, athletic side who are hard to break down and collectively a good attacking unit. Darlington Nagbe is Portlands answer to Dimitri Payet, while they could have the capability of winning silverware.West Hams mascot may be a walking hammer, but does it compare to a lumberjack with a chainsaw?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants coach Ben McAdoo isnt going to shake things up despite dismal performances in the first two preseason games, both losses.Speaking a day after dropping a 21-0 decision to the Bills in Buffalo, McAdoo said Sunday that some backups are going to get chances to show what they can do this week.The offensive line has to be the first-year coachs biggest concern. It failed to generate much of a running game last season and the Giants didnt do anything in the offseason to improve it.Free agency was used to buy players for the leagues worst defense in 2015, with the hope being that the offensive line would improve with everyone coming back.It hasnt happened.Left tackle Ereck Flowers, last years first-round draft pick, is not blowing anyone off the ball. Left guard Justin Pugh missed Saturdays game with a shoulder injury. Center Weston Richburg, right guard John Jerry and right tackle Marshall Newhouse have not impressed.Even backup Bobby Hart, a seventh-round pick who the Giants hoped would push Newhouse, has been inconsistent.The bottom line is the line needs help and there is little help behind the top six.The waiver wire might have to provide help after NFL rosters are reduced to 53 players on Sept. 3.The Giants open the season on Sept. 11 at Dallas.Were going to give guys opportunities to compete, but at the same point in time, were not going to have any knee-jerk reactions, no ones panicking here, McAdoo said. Were not going to rush to judgment on anything. Were going to go out there, were going to get the pads on and were going to get to work.In the season opener against the Dolphins, the running game generated 1225 yards in the first half on 23 carries.dddddddddddd However, Miami had none of its first-team defensive line play in the game.The Buffalo game was terrible. New York had eight rushes for 10 yards in the half.McAdoo said the line has to improve on its fundamentals and be more physical, something he has seen in practice.We have to keep working on it in practice and carry it over and its got to show up on game day, he said. A lot of the things, and a lot of the mistakes that were making, were not making in practice, we just need to have the confidence to carry those over to game day.McAdoo expects Pugh to return to practice in some capacity this week along with cornerback Eli Apple and receiver Victor Cruz.Cruz is expected to work Monday when the team does some conditioning, starts getting ready for the Jets and goes over corrections from Saturdays game.Cruz, who has not played in the opening two preseason games after missing all of last season, is expected to practice Tuesday when the team has a normal workout.Apple hurt a knee in the preseason opener.Wide receiver/return man Dwayne Harris had an MRI on the knee he hurt Saturday and it checked out OK. Trainers will examine him again Monday.McAdoo was not certain whether the Giants would bring in another placekicker. Free agent Tom Obarski missed a short field attempt on Saturday in what was considered his golden opportunity to show the team he could do the job with Josh Brown suspended for the season opener.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
