Despite losing players to World Cup, LAFC looks to continue winning ways in Houston

Los Angeles Football Club has an opportunity to move into first place in the MLS Western Conference on Tuesday evening when it takes on the Dynamo in Houston.

LAFC sits third in the West with 30 points, two behind first-place Sporting Kansas City and FC Dallas, meaning a victory would put the team in first place until at least Wednesday, when Kansas City and Dallas play Real Salt Lake and Atlanta United, respectively.

Coach Bob Bradley’s squad is on a five-game winning streak in all competitions, despite the absence of World Cup participants Carlos Vela, Omar Gaber and Marco Urena for all five victories.
