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

LAFC head into this one with no fresh absences to report, which should mean another start up top for Denis Bouanga alongside Heung-Min Son, the pair who have carried the bulk of the attacking weight in the final third this season. Vancouver Whitecaps also have a clean bill of health, with Brian White<\/a> expected to lead the line and Thomas M\u00fcller operating just behind him, while Bruno Caicedo and Emmanuel Sabbi offer further attacking-midfield options in support.<\/p>\n

This has the makings of goals at both ends rather than a cagey afternoon. LAFC sit sixth in the Western Conference<\/a>, firmly in the playoff picture<\/a>, but their last five league games have brought a draw, a win, two losses and another draw, including a 1-0 defeat at FC Dallas last time out. Vancouver arrive top of the conference on 50 points and with a +33 goal difference, though a 3-3 draw with DC United was their most recent result. Expect White and Bouanga both to find the net at BMO Stadium before Vancouver’s edge in front of goal decides it.<\/p>\n
