The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Vancouver Whitecaps lock horns with an impressive Los Angeles Galaxy side in an important encounter at the BC Place on Saturday.

Vancouver Whitecaps are currently at the top of the MLS Western Conference standings and have been in excellent form this season. The Whitecaps eased past Toronto FC by a comprehensive 4-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Los Angeles Galaxy, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have also stepped up to the plate this season. The away side slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of local rivals Los Angeles FC last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.

Los Angeles Galaxy have done well this season but will be hurting from their poor performance in the derby last week. The likes of Dejan Joveljic and Riqui Puig can be effective on their day and have a point to prove on Saturday.
