Tonight vs. Chicago

5:30 PDT

Fox Sports West 2

Site--Soldier Field.

Radio--KTNQ (1020).

Records--Galaxy 9-0, Fire 3-5.

Update--The Galaxy will be without backup defender Paul Caligiuri, put on injured reserve Tuesday because of a sprained ankle, and backup goaltender Matt Reis, who has a rotator cuff injury. This will be the first meeting between the Galaxy and the expansion Fire. It might have been an emotional reunion with former Los Angeles goalkeeper Jorge Campos, traded to Chicago in January, but Campos is with the Mexican national team for World Cup ’98. The Galaxy has a league-record 15 consecutive regular-season victories.
