Seattle Sounders versus LA Galaxy starting lineup: One change from 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers -

Notes:


- Sounders FC Head Coach Brian Schmetzer makes one change from his starting lineup that beat the Portland Timbers 2-1 in Week 25, bringing on Saad Abdul-Salaam for Kelvin Leerdam, who is suspended for the match due to yellow card accumulation.


Joevin Jones earns his second consecutive start at left back, while Brad Smith makes the bench again after recovering from a right adductor strain.


Jordy Delem and Gustav Svensson start together in the midfield double-pivot, and Cristian Roldan lines up once again in a wide midfield role.
