Overview

• Seattle and LA meet for the third time in roughly five weeks after Sounders wins of 4-0 and 2-0 in August.
• The Galaxy sit last in the West with 20 points from 28 matches and are winless on the road (0-9-6), with mathematical elimination possible depending on other results.
• Seattle have lost just once in their last 15 matches, won the Leagues Cup, and hold an 8-1-4 home record.
• Brian Schmetzer says Jordan Morris is available for selection, with Albert Rusnak and João Paulo in full training and Cristian Roldan back from USMNT duty.
• LA are expected to rely on rotation with Gabriel Pec suspended and injuries affecting key players, while Joseph Paintsil is slated to return from international duty.
