Opponent--Chicago Fire.

Site--Soldier Field, Chicago.

Radio--KTNQ (1020).

Records--Galaxy 17-6, Fire 13-9.

Update--The Galaxy needs to win only three of its last nine regular-season games to clinch a playoff spot. With 66 goals in 23 games, Los Angeles is within easy striking distance of the league record for goals per game, a 2.19 mark established by Washington D.C. United. The Galaxy is averaging 2.86 goals a game. Defender Robin Fraser, who served a one-game suspension in Wednesday’s 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids, returns today. Chicago has lost three consecutive games since playmaker Peter Nowak was sidelined by injury.
