The third installment of El Trafico kicks off Friday night (7 pm, ESPN) at the StubHub Center. The match is a role reversal for Sigi Schmid’s side - LA were healthy and riding an unbeaten streak the last time they faced their crosstown rivals at Banc of California Stadium, whereas the Galaxy are back at home but winless in four and missing multiple attacking weapons.

Of course, injuries didn’t stop the LA Galaxy from pulling off a sensational comeback vs. the expansion club back in March.

What to watch

Once again, the injury bug strikes again.
