The first edition of the Los Angeles derby between Chivas USA and the Los Angeles Galaxy is just about ready to get underway at the Home Depot Center with fans from both teams streaming into the stadium. The Galaxy have dominated the rivalry since Chivas joined the league, besting their rivals from across the hall five times in six years. That dominance has reached its highest point lately with the Goats failing to beat the Galaxy since 2007.
Chivas USA Vs. LA Galaxy, SuperClasico: Lineups
The Galaxy enter the match leading all of MLS with 20 points. They've done so on the back on Landon Donovan, who has been on fire of late. He scored seven of the team's last nine goals, including two in last week's 4-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.
Like LA, Chivas has their full allotment of players available. Their first choice XI will depend heavily on Justin Braun up top, who scored a hat trick last weekend. The Goats have one of the league's better defenses, but will need a standout performance from Braun because they lack much other attacking talent.
Chivas USA: Dan Kennedy, Ante Jazic, Heath Pearce, Andrew Boyens, Zarek Valentin, Simon Elliott, Jorge Flores, Ben Zemanski, Nick LaBrocca, Justin Braun, Alejandro Moreno
LA Galaxy: Donovan Ricketts, Todd Dunivant, Omar Gonzalez, A.J. DeLAGarza, Sean Franklin, Mike Magee, Juninho, David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Juan Pablo Angel, Chad Barrett
