In our view, Los Angeles FC will probably use a 4-3-3 system this time and select Hugo Lloris, Ryan Hollingshead, Jesús Murillo, Aaron Long, Eddie Segura, Timothy Tillman, Ilie Sanchez, Eduard Atuesta, Nathan Ordaz, Mateusz Bogusz and Denis Bouanga.

Out of a mainly available group of players, there’s just a single fitness issue for the Los Angeles Galaxy manager Greg Vanney to be concerned with. Jalen Neal (Abdominal problems) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The Galactics seem most likely to play in a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to John McCarthy, Miki Yamane, Maya Yoshida, Martin Caceres, Julián Aude, Gabriel Pec, Marco Delgado, Gaston Brugman, Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil and Dejan Joveljić.
