LAFC return to action this weekend to take on Vancouver Whitecaps in a Western Conference showdown at BC Place.
The Sunday-night clash is just one of two MLS matches taking place this weekend with Columbus Crew playing host to New England Revolution on Saturday prior to the last matchay of the regular season, Decision Day, on Oct. 19.
The Black and Gold remain in contention for the number one seed in the Western Conference thanks to their three straight league wins over FC Cincinnati, St. Louis CITY and Sporting Kansas City. Steve Cherundolo's team sits in second place in the Western Conference with 58 points, six points off first-placed rivals LA Galaxy.
Since LAFC has a game in hand over the Galaxy, it must win against Vancouver if it hopes to claim the top spot in the West come Decision Day.
Cherundolo could look to stick with his 3-4-3 setup that helps provide defensive stability away from home while also allowing the team to race forward on counter attacks. It wouldn't be a huge surprise for Cherundolo to pick a similar starting lineup that got the job done last time out against SKC.
Here's how LAFC could lineup against the Whitecaps in MLS action.
