One of the most outstanding players so far this season is Cristian Espinoza, who scored last week and will need to show up to rescue an away win that would be golden.

Although Mexican Carlos Vela has acknowledged that he has not had the best season since his arrival in MLS, he continues to be an important player in every roster because he has the spark and intelligence to change the course of the game from his boots with a pass, a mid-range shot or the ability to get into the opponent's box.

42 Daniel, 26 Rodrigues, 4 Jonathan Mensah, 21 Miguel Trauco, 29 Carlos Akapo, 30 Niko Tsarkis, 7 Carlos Gruezo, 14 Jackson Yueill, 11 Jeremy Ebobisse, 10 Cristian Espinoza, 16 Jack Skahan.

It should be noted that the San Jose Earthquakes are having a much better season than last season and are placed within the top eight of the Western Conference with a regularity between wins and losses, although they will have to work on the defensive issue due to the fact that they have conceded more goals than they have scored.

After playing the Traffic Classic, LAFC will try to get back to winning ways at home after a double away game in a row and now they will try to get three points to keep their position as one of the leaders of the MLS Western Conference.

The LAFC vs San Jose Earthquakes match will be played at the Banc of California Stadium, in Los Angeles, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:30 pm ET.
