LAFC host Vancouver Whitecaps at BMO Stadium on Saturday, October 10 (10:30 PM ET \/ 9:30 PM CT \/ 7:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are no fresh injury or suspension concerns reported for either squad this week. LAFC will again lean on Denis Bouanga and Heung-Min Son up top, while Marco Antonio Delgado and Mathieu Choini\u00e8re look to dictate tempo through the centre of the park. Vancouver Whitecaps travel with Brian White spearheading the line and Thomas M\u00fcller linking play just behind him, the pair responsible for much of the Whitecaps’ attacking output this season.<\/p>\n

Vancouver arrive at BMO Stadium top of the Western Conference<\/a> with 50 points from 26 games and a +33 goal difference, the league’s most ruthless record in front of goal. LAFC sit sixth in the same conference and will need a big night from Bouanga and Son to disrupt a Whitecaps side rolling with confidence. Expect goals at both ends \u2014 White and M\u00fcller have the quality to punish any hesitancy from the home defence, while Bouanga is capable of making Vancouver pay if they switch off. It shouldn’t be one-way traffic, but the visitors look the sharper, more complete side heading into Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n
