What They're Saying
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena (via MLS): "[Robbie Keane's] getting sharper each and every game. It's been a while. Missing a couple of months is never easy and it takes some games. Robbie's needed about a month, month-and-a-half to get going again. He's only going to get better."
San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham: "To be successful in this league, you've got to be picking up points. We let one slip away last week up in Portland, and then you have to win your home games to be successful, and we know that."
The In-Form Player
All eyes will be on the league debut of Steven Gerrard. In 29 league appearances with Liverpool last season, the 35-year-old finished with nine goals and one assist.
Projected Lineups
Los Angeles Galaxy (4-4-2): Rowe; Rogers, Leonardo, DeLaGarza, Gargan; Maganto, Juninho, Gerrard, Lletget; Keane, Villarreal
San Jose Earthquakes (4-1-4-1): Bingham; Stewart, Goodson, Bernardez, Wynne; Alashe; Salinas, Garcia, Thompson, Nyassi; Sherrod
