Final Road Test on Tap at PPL Park

The Galaxy's final road game of the 2010 MLS regular season is upon us as the Galaxy look to solidify their position at the top of the MLS standings. The Galaxy enter tonight's game two points ahead of second place Real Salt Lake with three games to go on the season and are in search of their first Supporters Shield title since 2002.

Bruce Arena has named an unchanged starting XI for tonight's game, with Landon Donovan again partnering Edson Buddle and David Beckham playing just behind those two. There is still no return for Gregg Berhalter, so A.J. DeLaGarza will once again partner Omar Gonzalez in central defense.

The only changes for LA are on the bench, where Leonardo, Bryan Jordan and Chris Klein return in place of Yohance Marshall, who is with the Trinidad & Tobago National Team for a game against Jamaica on Sunday, Eddie Lewis, who is suspended and Tristan Bowen, who joined the team in Philadelphia but will not dress.

Here is the complete team and formation for the Galaxy...
