Western Conference Championship on the Line

Two teams, one game, one berth in MLS Cup on the line.

The Western Conference Championship is up for grabs tonight as the Galaxy host the Houston Dynamo. LA defeated the Dynamo 1-0 here on June 28, with Todd Dunivant getting the game's only goal that night. While a repeat of that result would be welcomed tonight, the goalscorer will have to be different as Dunivant will miss the match through illness. He is replaced in the starting lineup by A.J. DeLaGarza who will make his postseason debut.

Here is the complete Galaxy team...

-----------Buddle-------Magee-----------

Donovan---------Beckham-----------Klein

-----------------Kovalenko----------------

DeLaGarza--Berhalter--Gonzalez--Franklin
