LAFC come into the game with Diego Palacios missing due to suspension. Diego Palacios has accumulated yellow cards beyond the threshold and he picks up a suspension. The only other unavailability in the squad is due to an injury, as Diego Rosales remains on the treatment table.

After a string of preconceived losses in the league, LAFC were believed to come back to winning ways with the success of LA Galaxy. The goals from top scorer Denis Bouanga were crucial in this result. A big worry for LAFC would be their away form with just one victory in the last eight matches on the road.
