It’s high time for Bruce Arena’s Los Angeles Galaxy, who enter the cauldron of fire, also known as Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan.

Awaiting them: the top team in the East—Sporting Kansas City, who come into Saturday’s tilt unbeaten and ready to continue their winstreak.

With issues in the backline and an unsightly habit of surrendering goals on the fly, how will the defending champions of Major League Soccer fare in one of the most hostile environments in North America?

Can Los Angeles bounce back from an embarrassing 3-1 defeat at home to the New England Revolution? Or will Sporting establish themselves as the class of the league?

Kickoff at Livestrong is scheduled for 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET and will be televised by ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
