Up next for Galaxy: Saturday vs. Chicago

When: 7:30.

Where: Home Depot Center.

On the air: TV: Fox Soccer Channel; Radio: 1150.

Records: Galaxy 9-2-9; Chicago 2-4-12.

Record vs. Fire: 1-0-0.

Update: The Galaxy’s 11-match unbeaten streak includes six ties. The Fire carries an eight-match unbeaten streak of its own that includes seven ties. While the Fire has not lost since interim Coach Frank Klopas took over on May 30, the string of ties has not helped them move up the standings. The Galaxy will put a starting 11 on the field that probably will be its closest to full strength since the beginning of its streak. Both forward Landon Donovan and midfielder David Beckham are expected to play, though Beckham may only see limited minutes as he continues to battle a back injury.
