Team News

New England
L.A. Galaxy
  • A.J Soares could make the Revs' starting line-up with Stephen McCarthy struggling with an achilles strain.
  • Juan Agudelo made his full New England debut in the 2-0 win over Toronto FC, scoring in stoppage time to mark his performance with a goal. He is in line to make his second start for the Revs.
  • With usual frontman Jerry Bengtson away on international duty for Honduras, Agudelo could start as the focal point of the Revolution's attack.
  • Robbie Rogers could be given his first start for the LA Galaxy after making his debut as a second half substitute in the 4-0 win over the Seattle Sounders.
  • With Robbie Keane on international duty with the Republic of Ireland, Jose Villarreal could be paired with raw prospect Gyasi Zardes up front.

Prediction

  • While the Revolution may have come up against a faltering Toronto FC side, they showed enough to suggest New England could make the play-offs this season, with Lee Nguyen and Diego Fagundez the standout performers in the 2-0 win.
  • The addition of USA international forward Juan Agudelo has also added potency in attack and having made his first full start for his new club his goal in stoppage time proved he could be the player to kick-start Revolution's top five charge.
  • LA Galaxy's midweek US Open Cup defeat to Carolina RailHawks, a game that coach Bruce Arena didn't even attend, wasn't the perfect preparation for a game that could see the California side close the gap on the teams above them in the West.
  • The signing of Robbie Rogers, traded to Chicago Fire for Mike Magee, has been questioned by some, but it didn't appear to affect the Galaxy as the former Leeds United midfielder made his debut as a second half substitute in the 4-0 win over the Seattle Sounders.
