Real Salt Lake faces long-time rivals LA Galaxy tonight in what's sure to be a hotly contested match between the two teams straddling the playoff line.
How to watch
LA Galaxy v. Real Salt Lake, 8:30 p.m. MDT (StubHub Center)
On TV: Home - KMYU (2.2 OTA, 12 satellite, 22 Comcast); Away - TWCS/TWCD
Predicted lineup
Rimando; Beltran, Vasquez, Olave, Mansally; Beckerman, Gil, Morales, Stertzer; Saborio, Sandoval
Subs: Fernandez, Maund, Mulholland, Pecka, Saucedo, Plata, Jaime
Players to watch
Devon Sandoval has been in very good form lately, and it's only a matter of time before he bags another goal if he continues playing as he has — but Josh Saunders stood on his head to keep Sandoval out, and you can expect similar ability from LA's Jaime Penedo.
John Stertzer is certainly one to keep an eye on if he starts, especially after he scored his first professional goal last weekend. He's showed some good attacking movement; will that continue?
Alvaro Saborio played on Saturday with more intensity and fire than we've seen from him in some time, but will that be the same with this road match?
