MEXICO welcome USMNT to the Estadio Azteca this week for a crunch CONCACAF World Cup qualifier.
With just goal difference splitting the two teams in the race for Qatar, this is a critical clash in what has been a grueling qualifying campaign.
The USA sit second in the table after a 3-0 victory over Honduras in freezing temperatures last time out, easing the pressure on coach Gregg Berhalter.
But the USMNT are winless in four visits to the iconic Azteca stadium, with their last victory here in 2012.
Mexico needed a late Raul Jimenez penalty to beat Panama back in early February and have been widely inconsistent throughout qualifying.
When the teams met late last year, goals from Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie gave the USA the three points.
In the USA, there are a number of ways to watch the action unfold.
The game will be live on CBS, Univision and TUDN USA.
Streaming options are also available on Paramount+, Univision NOW and TUDN App.
For those of you in Mexico, the game will be shown live on Canal 5, Azteca 7, Blim TV and TUDN.
