We are down to the final round of 16 games in the 2023 Leagues Cup, and if there are no more setbacks, we will find out the rest of the fixtures for the stage where the last eight will clash.
There were some issues that forced one of yesterday's games to be delayed, but all five remaining matches seem to have all it takes to keep fans glued to the edge of their seats. Those who enjoy Liga MX fixtures will be quite happy with tonight's program, as four teams from that league will battle their way into the next round, contrary to what happened on Monday with only Querétaro being involved in the mix.
It will be a historic day for Leagues Cup and Liga MX fans, mainly due to the presence of one classic fixture between two Mexican clubs who share one of the most passionate rivalries out there. So, without any delays, let us give you a glimpse of what is going down this evening.
América vs Nashville
A rematch will be held between América and Nashville in the first fixture scheduled to be played on Tuesday. Las Águilas and the Boys in Gold have previously met once, with the MLS club winning that tie in a penalty shootout. Things have changed for both of them since that meeting, and the team from Mexico City will want to show they are for real in this competition despite struggling to beat Chicago Fire in the previous round. Meanwhile, Nashville get here after a win in a penalty shootout against Cincinnati FC, arguably the best team in this MLS season, which should give them a boost in confidence to face Las Águilas. Which one of these yellow and blue teams will be able to reach the next stage?

Philadelphia Union vs New York RB
In a clash that was supposed to take place on Monday, these rivals from the Eastern Conference in the MLS will for sure give fans their money's worth with an interesting clash. The Union get to this game as favorites due to their performance in the league, where they are third in their conference compared to the Red Bulls' lackluster run, which has seen them win only six matches in the ongoing season. When it comes to meetings between them, Philadelphia own a commanding lead over the Red Bulls with ten straight games without a loss, including seven wins. The Red Bulls have not beaten Philadelphia since September 2019, and they still have one more game left to play against the Union this season. Will that trend continue after tonight's match?

Toluca vs Minnesota United
Two of the top scoring team in this Leagues Cup edition lock horns with nothing but a win on their minds. The team from Liga MX enters this tie after an emphatic 4-1 win over Sporting KC, while Minnesota had to go all the way to penalties to eliminate Columbus. It will be the first-ever match between these clubs, although it seems that Toluca have a better chance of making the next round due to their experience against MLS clubs, which has seen them beat teams from the north side of Rio Grande six times in eleven prior games. Minnesota's record only includes their win after penalties against Puebla, but even if they have stunned Mexican teams before, having to play two games and win them from the spot could take a toll on the team led by Adrian Heath.

Tigres UANL vs Monterrey
There will be no other match more interesting on Tuesday than the one featuring the two most relevant teams in Nuevo León. Both of them have been involved in some massive brawls and key matches, and this one should not be any different. The most recent games between these teams were also do-or-die matches, as los Rayados and Tigres faced each other in the Clausura 2023 semis, with the latter winning the tie and eventually going all the way to lift the crown. Tigres' major players, such as Gignac and Sebastián Córdova will be there, but coach Fernando Ortiz and midfielder Sergio Canales will want to become Monterrey's finest weapons for this game. Will they be able to avenge their loss back in May and become one of the final eight teams? Tune in to find out!

Los Angeles FC vs Real Salt Lake
Los Angeles kicked off their run in the Leagues Cup with an impressive 7-1 win against Juárez, and they will want to follow suit when they lock horns against Real Salt Lake. On the other hand, RSL made it to this clash by claiming a huge but deserved win against León, where the team from Utah started losing. Now, it will be interesting to see how the clash between these Western Conference-based clubs pans out, especially since LAFC has won every one of their last seven matches against the Claret and Cobalt, including a 3-0 rout back in May. All in all, Real Salt Lake will have to pull off a stunning performance to end that trend, although the absence of LAFC's Carlos Vela could be key to determine the outcome of this match.
