* Record vs. MetroStars--1-0.

* Update--The Galaxy will be without forward Clint Mathis, recovering from knee surgery, but might give newly reacquired defender Jorge Salcedo a look. The MetroStars are missing a slew of injured players, including midfielders Tab Ramos and Mark Chung and defender Mike Petke. Iranian defender Mohammad Khakpour has been impressive in an otherwise weak back line that has yielded a league-high 49 goals. The MetroStars’ offense has scored a league-low 21 goals. The Galaxy is 8-3 at home; the MetroStars are 2-8 on the road.
