At BMO Stadium on Saturday, Los Angeles FC will welcome the New England Revolution in a clash between the last two champions of the Supporters' Shield.
Both teams have started the regular season well, with the Revs blanking Houston Dynamo 3-0 last week and the defending MLS Cup champions edging the Portland Timbers 3-2 in their season-opening domestic match.

Last Saturday's game had some tense moments, but LAFC finally prevailed, becoming the first defending champion since the Seattle Sounders in 2020 to triumph in the first match of the regular season.
Saturday will only be the third time they face New England in a regular season encounter, with LA winning the previous game between the two in 2019 (2-0), while drawing them 1-1 in their only meeting in Los Angeles in 2018.
New England Revolution are off to a great start in 2023, winning their opening two matches for the first time in the club's history.
Their victory over the Dynamo marks the first time the Revs have posted consecutive clean sheets in their first two campaign matches.
