Los Angeles are looking to close the gap at the top of the Western Conference table, as they sit third, just two points behind league leaders Vancouver Whitecaps, who have two games in hand.
Home form has been a key factor behind LAFC's success this season, with the team winning six of their nine league matches in Los Angeles.
They head into this fixture full of confidence after a convincing 3-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.
The victory extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to four in a row, showing how consistent they have been this season.
Denis Bouanga has also been impressive in leading the attack for his team, having scored eight goals already in the league.
Sporting Kansas City, meanwhile, have endured a difficult campaign and sit at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
Four wins from 16 matches have left them on 14 points, with defensive issues proving a major concern given their total of 40 goals conceded.
The visitors do, however, head into this contest on a positive note after defeating Minnesota United 2-1, and they will hope that result can spark an improvement in form.
With the team finding their feet, Manu Garcia and Dejan Joveljic have been key attacking threats, while Lasse Johnsen has provided consistency at the back.
Recent meetings heavily favour LAFC, who have dominated this encounter without losing in their last nine league meetings.
