Probable Lineups
Missing Players
Team News
L.A. Galaxy
- Landon Donovan is the only player LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena will have to do without due to the Gold Cup, with the forward called up to the USA national team.
- Jack McBean and Leonardo will be available for selection once again after recovering from injury.
FC Dallas
- Blas Perez is the only FC Dallas player involved in the upcoming Gold Cup campaign, joining up with the Panama national team this week.
- Zach Loyd, George John, Eric Hassli and Ugo Ihemelu will all face fitness tests before Saturday's trip to California, although with just slight knocks they should be available.
Prediction
- LA Galaxy have struggled to find the sort of spark that made them MLS champions last year, but just like last season, they have started to turn round their run of fairly patchy form just as the play-off season approaches.
- Before Thursday's game against Chivas USA, Schellas Hyndman's FC Dallas side were without a win in their previous four league outings, a run of form that has seen them slump to third in the Western Conference. Now they face the MLS champions in an attempt to turn round that negative streak.
- FC Dallas have won just once on the road this season and the LA Galaxy's edge in terms of quality and big-game experience should see them through this tie.
