Great start of the season that has had the Mexican Javier Hernandez, who already has five goals and who comes from scoring in the 2-1 victory against LAFC, reason why the Mexican press has insisted on his return to the Mexican national team.

The Chicago Fire have struggled to score goals, but their best scorer has been Kacper Przybylko with two goals, so they need to take advantage of their height to get the three points at home.

1 Jonathan Bond, 3 Derrick Williams, 4 Séga Coulibaly, 44 Raheem Edwards, 2 Julian Araujo, 7 Víctor Vázquez, 6 Rayan Raveloson, 18 Kelvin Leerdam, 14 Javier Hernández, 11 Samuel Grandsir, 26 Efrain Álvarez.

After winning last week's Clasico del Tráfico, the LA Galaxy are aiming for the big time this season and will look to find consistency both at home and away; they are runners-up in the MLS Western Conference behind only LAFC with 12 points from a possible 18.

With only one loss in the first six games and only two goals allowed, Chicago Fire wants to put aside the draws and will look to make home advantage count against one of the teams that have started the season well, which would allow them to give a blow of authority and gain confidence.

The Chicago Fire vs LA Galaxy match will be played at the Soldier Field Stadium, in Chicago, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 8:15 pm ET.
