LA Galaxy team news

The Galaxy enter this fixture on the back of a dominant 5-2 victory over Tijuana in their Leagues Cup opener. They have found renewed attacking rhythm - Joseph Paintsil netted a second-half brace, and Marco Reus has tallied three goals and five assists in his last seven matches. Matheus Nascimento continues to shine with four goals and four assists since late May, providing Galaxy with multiple threats up front.

Defensively, LA remain relatively stable, with no major injuries or suspensions reported for the first team ahead of this match. There’s anticipation around midfielder Riqui Puig, who is close to returning from an ACL injury, though he may only be fit for limited minutes if at all.

Cruz Azul team news

Cruz Azul arrive in Los Angeles looking to rebound from a humiliating 7-0 defeat to the Seattle Sounders in their Leagues Cup opener.

There are no significant new injury concerns for the visitors, and most of their regular starters - including key player Ángel Sepúlveda (the recent CONCACAF Champions Cup top scorer) and new goalkeeper Kevin Mier - are fit for selection.
