Lineup notes:
- In net, Jonathan Bond makes his third start for the Galaxy since joining this offseason. In the two opening matches, the English keeper has 10 saves and has looked the part as the No. 1 keeper in LA. No known relation to James.
- On the right, MLS veteran Oniel Fisher makes his second start and his third appearance with the club to start the season. Fisher, who has 68 previous appearances in MLS, faces his former squad on Sunday.
- In the middle is Daniel Steres, who makes his third-straight start in central defense.
