Two clubs in opposite conferences of MLS will do battle today in a league match between Sporting Kansas City and the Los Angeles Galaxy. The first-division clash scheduled for 6 p.m. ET will be held at Sporting Park in Kansas City and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN2.

The scorching form of Los Angeles' Gyasi Zardes has the club surging up the standings in the Western Conference. In the last eight matches, the 22-year-old has scored all six of his goals, leading to high praise from his head coach Bruce Arena.

"He's grown as a player, more confident," Arena said (via MLS's official website). "We put him in a difficult position in the second half [against the New England Revolution], having to play out on the right and I thought he was excellent. He played on both sides of the ball, so we're real pleased with him," he added.

"He is getting a lot more confident, and he has been a really good player over the last couple of months."

Will Zardes be able to continue his form on the road this afternoon? Tell us @SportsWN
