LA Galaxy team news and form: LA at the top
LA Galaxy are at the top of the table in the Western Conference, but if coach Vanney wants to keep it that way, he has to find a way to beat Atlanta United. LA Galaxy have played a game more than the rest and their lead at the top is quite fragile.

Player to watch: Gabriel Pec
Everyone’s talking about the goalscoring sensation that Dejan Joveljic is, but we barely get to hear much about Pec. Since the start of the MLS campaign, Pec scored 10 goals and supplied teammates with nine assists. With 19 goal returns since the start of the season, he is undoubtedly one of the key players for coach Vanney.
Second player to watch: Saba Lobzhanidze
Lobshaindze had a couple of good goalscoring opportunities in front of him in the match versus Laguneros but he squandered them. Surely, he is feeling the pressure to prove himself more and more.
