Galaxy Aim for Supporters' Shield Tonight Against Colorado

Nearly seven months after the 2010 MLS season began, the LA Galaxy take to the field in their penultimate game of the season on the precipise of their first Supporters' Shield title in eight years. Needing a win or possibly even a draw given other results, the Galaxy host the Colorado Rapids tonight in front of what is expected to be a capacity crowd at The Home Depot Center.

Bruce Arena makes one change to the team that beat Philadelphia 1-0 last Thursday, with Gregg Berhalter returning to central defense for the first time since August 14. His return moves A.J. DeLaGarza to left back, where he replaces Todd Dunivant, who sits this one out with a right adductor strain.

Here is the complete Galaxy lineup...

-------------Donovan------Buddle-------------

Stephens------------Beckham----------Birchall

---------------------Juninho------------------

DeLaGarza---Gonzalez---Berhalter---Franklin

---------------------Ricketts------------------

Subs: Saunders, Leonardo, Cazumba, Lewis, Kirovski, Jordan, Magee

And here is how the visiting Colorado Rapids, who clinched their first postseason berth since 2006 earlier today, will lineup.

-------------Casey--------Cummings-----------

Smith------------------------------------Mullan

----------Larentowicz-----Mastroeni------------

Thompson-----Moor------Wynne---------Kimura

---------------------Pickens----------------------

Subs: Joyce, Earls, Palguta, Labaux, Akpan, Lopez, Kandji
