As PDL teams from all across the nation start to hit their stride, an important Mid Atlantic Division derby between Reading United AC and the New York Red Bulls U23 takes center stage in Week 4.

Here are several Week 4 games that stand out among the rest:

Reading United AC vs. New York Red Bulls (Reading, Pennsylvania): After pummeling Evergreen FC, 5-0, on Saturday, Reading United hosts its home opener against a Red Bulls U23 side with a lot of talent. Paul Marie, named to the Team of the Week following his two-goal performance vs. Evergreen FC, and Bradley Fountain will lead Reading United's midfield. On the other side of the ball, Arun Basuljevic and Christopher Lema are sure to cause some problems for the home side.

OC Blues U23 vs. San Diego Zest FC (Irvine, California): The Blues U23s have looked sharp to start the 2016 PDL campaign, recording two wins and a tie in their first three games of the season. The attack has been led by midfielders Gerzon Blanco and Juan Sanchez in recent outings, while the Blues U23 defense has yet to concede a goal through three games. Zest FC's Andrew Stalboerger has been strong for his side in defense, and will be one of the players counted upon to prevent the Blues U23s from earning their third win of the season.

Derby City Rovers vs. TFC Academy (Jeffersonville, Indiana): The Rovers kick off their PDL campaign against TFC Academy on Friday. Moustapha Fofana, a recent addition to the Rovers, should reinforce the defense for Head Coach Lee Chalmers' side. TFC Academy has yet to score this season, and will be looking at Matthew Srbely and Richie Ennin, among others, to spark the attack.
