Chicago Fire scouting report
L.A. Galaxy at Chicago Fire, 2 p.m. Sunday, Toyota Park
TV: ESPN
Scouting the Galaxy: For a fourth consecutive season, midfielder David Beckham will not play in Toyota Park, this time because of suspension. Defender Omar Gonzalez is off the disabled list for the struggling Galaxy (6-10-2, 20 points), healthy again after a torn ACL. Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Juninho provide plenty of firepower for the Los Angeles attack.
Scouting the Fire: The Fire (8-5-4, 28 points) returns home from a successful two-game road trip to play the defending MLS Cup champion Galaxy. The Fire again will be without midfielder Sebastian Grazzini, but now it knows his absence will be prolonged. Chris Rolfe and Alex have looked good in Grazzini's place.
Next game: Vancouver Whitecaps at Toyota Park, 7:30 p.m. Saturday
