Galaxy Ready for Inaugural Meeting with the Union

We're closing in on kickoff here at The Home Depot Center as the Galaxy look to move back to the top of the overall MLS standings. The New York Red Bulls jumped over LA with their win over D.C. United earlier today, giving them 15 points compared to the Galaxy's 13, though LA has a game in hand.

Bruce Arena makes one change to the team that drew 0-0 in Kansas City last weekend with Mike Magee missing out due to tightness in his right hip. Alan Gordon comes into the starting lineup with Landon Donovan starting on the left side of midfield.
