After a wretched MLS campaign, LA Galaxy would be looking to put the curtains on a shambolic season. The home side finished third last season but have been dumped to 13th spot in the Western Conference as they play the last match of the first phase.
LA Galaxy have failed to win any of their previous five games drawing thrice and losing on two occasions and a win in their final encounter could give the fans considerable hope for their next campaign.
FC Dallas, on the other hand, have much to lose if they end up on the wrong side of the scoreline on Saturday. With Sporting KC and Minnesota United looking to sneak into the Final Series, Dallas would be hoping to earn at least one point from the contest.
The visitors are currently in the play-off spots of the Final Series with 43 points from 33 games and any slip-ups in their final game could cost them a Final Series spot.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
