He has not been able to have the best of experiences, but Mexican Jairo Torres wants to consolidate his position and is looking to continue getting more minutes in MLS after his successful stint with Rojinegros del Atlas in Liga MX.

Despite the fact that the team is not going through a good moment, the Spanish Ricard Puig continues to prove that he is a man capable of making a difference in the midfield, both for his recovery, passes and mid-range shots.

The Chicago Fire are on the wire in the qualification zone, although they came back in a bad way last week with a 3-1 home loss against Orlando City, so they must win this Saturday if they want to stay in the Playoffs.

The LA Galaxy did not have a good Leagues Cup after losing their two Group Stage matches and being eliminated by León and Vancouver, however, they are not having a good time in the current MLS season either, as they are second to last in the Western Conference and only surpass Colorado, although with 22 points they are 7 points away from the Playoffs zone and this game is essential to close the gap.

The LA Galaxy vs Chicago Fire match will be played at the Dignity Health Sports Park, in Los Angeles, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:30 pm ET.
