CHIVAS USA vs. FC DALLAS Live Stream Online: 2014 MLS Standings, Live Coverage From Los Angeles, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs in the Western Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between Chivas USA and FC Dallas. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 p.m. ET will be held at the Stubhub Center in Los Angeles and can be live streamed here.

An unbeaten run of form sees FC Dallas in playoff positioning out West. A 2-2 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps extended the club's run without a blemish to six. Two consecutive losses, however, have derailed Chivas USA's progress. Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera was critical of his players following their defeat to the Colorado Rapids.

"I'm disappointed about some players' mentality," Cabrera said (via MLS's official website). "Especially some guys that had a chance to play, they have the possibility to step up on the field."

"The first thing that you do in these types of games is be well prepared with the right tools," he added. "Some players went on the field with cleats that are not good for this weather and these conditions. They were slipping over there, and obviously they cost a goal. With that, they don't pay attention, and they don't learn that this is a professional game and they have to have a professional mentality. That's why we get exposed."

Chivas will look to rebound at home against FC Dallas this evening.

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: FC Dallas' Tesho Akindele has provided Blas Perez the strike partner he needed. The 22-year-old enters today's match with three goals and an assist.

Chivas USA's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Kennedy; Tola, Burling, Bocanegra, Lochhead; Rosales, Pelletieri, Minda, Avila; Torres, Barrera

FC Dallas' Projected Lineup (5-3-2): Fernandez; Hernandez, Hedges, Keel, Zimmerman, Loyd; Michel, Moffat, Ulloa; Perez, Akindele
