Time to Take on the Champs

It's a gray and rainy day here in the Ohio capital as the Galaxy look to move to the top of the MLS standings against the Columbus Crew. With 41 points, the Galaxy currently sit second in the Western Conference, two points behind Houston and also two points behind Eastern Conference leading Columbus, who are also still on 43 points. The Dynamo are not in action this weekend, meaning that the a win today would push the Galaxy to first place in the overall league standings for the first time this year.

Here is the lineup that Bruce Arena and Co. will put out on the field against the defending champs as they look for their second straight win.

-----------------Miglioranzi------Birchall------------------

Dunivant-------Berhalter---------Gonzalez-----DeLaGarza

Subs: Saunders, Marshall, Klein, Lewis, Magee, Kirovski, Gordon.

Bryan Jordan makes his second start of the year and first since May 17, while A.J. DeLaGarza returns at right back, pushing Sean Franklin up to the right side of midfield.
