The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Los Angeles FC lock horns with Phil Neville's Inter Miami side at the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday.
Inter Miami vs Los Angeles FC Preview
Los Angeles FC are currently in third place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Portland Timbers last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The hosts suffered a shock 5-1 defeat against Austin FC in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle this weekend.
