• The goal scorer in the 1-0 WCQ win against El Salvador on Jan. 27, left back Antonee Robinson continues his run as the only player to appear in all 10 matches during 2022.

• Three starters appeared in the USA’s last visit to El Salvador, a 0-0 draw to open 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on Sept. 2, 2021. Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams started the match and Antonee Robinson came off the bench in the 64^th minute.

• Five starters took part in the 1-0 home qualifying win against El Salvador played Jan. 27 in Columbus, Ohio. Antonee Robinson, who scored the lone goal in the match, as well as Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah all started, while Brenden Aaronson replaced Pulisic in the 65th minute.

• With teams limited to dressing 23 players, defenders George Bello, Walker Zimmerman, and midfielder Malik Tillman are not part of tonight’s matchday squad. Teams are allowed to make five substitutions during three different moments.

• The USA is 19-1-6 all-time against El Salvador, holds a 12-0-4 advantage in matches played in official competition and is 2-1-4 in away matches against Los Cuscatlecos.
  
  
• A win tonight would guarantee the USA a top-two finish in in Nations League A, Group D and in turn clinch a berth for the USMNT in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup.
  
  
• Cesar Ramos of Mexico is the referee for tonight’s match. The USMNT is 3-3-2 in matches officiated by Ramos, the most recent of which was the away World Cup qualifier at Canada on Jan. 30, 2022.
