LA Galaxy return to action in the MLS when they go head-to-head with Saint Louis City at Citypark on Sunday.
Greg Vanney’s men were dumped out of the US Open Cup in midweek and will be looking to bounce back.
Saint Louis City suffered a third consecutive away defeat on Wednesday as they were beaten 2-0 by FC Dallas at the Toyota Stadium.
However, Bradley Carnell’s side now return home, where they have won their last three matches, scoring 10 goals and keeping two clean sheets since the start of May.
Despite their midweek defeat, Saint Louis remain at the top of the Western Conference table, one point above second-placed Seattle Sounders.
Elsewhere, LA Galaxy were dumped out of the US Open Cup as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Real Salt Lake in the second of their league-and-cup-double-header on Wednesday.
This followed a 3-2 victory over the Claret and Cobalt on June 1 which brought their three-match losing streak in the MLS to an end.
LA Galaxy are currently rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference standings, having picked up just 12 points from their 15 matches so far.
