Sounders vs. Galaxy, streaming: Kickoff, lineups and updates

Say this for the LA Galaxy: they rarely fail to entertain. All but one of their games this year has featured multiple goals — and that was their 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders in their previous meeting about a month ago. The Galaxy have scored at least three goals in half of their games and only been shutout once — last week’s 2-0 loss to Austin FC — while allowing multiple goals six times.

Their resurgent offense has been enough to lift them to the top of the Western Conference standings, but they’ll be without two of their most important players on Sunday. Riqui Puig is out with yellow-card accumulation while Dejan Joveljic is out with an injury. Between them, they’ve contributed nine goals and six assists and neither have particularly productive backups.

The Sounders should be about as close to full strength as they’ve been all year, with the caveat that Alex Roldan is still out on his red-card suspension.

The Sounders are 5-0-3 at home against the LA Galaxy since their last home loss against them on July 9, 2016.
Jordan Morris and Raúl Ruidíaz each have nine career goals against the Galaxy, tied with Robbie Keane for the most in this series’ history.
The Galaxy have scored the second most goals in MLS (21), but have allowed seven of their 17 goals on set-pieces.
