1. This is the first and only time NYCFC will play against LA Galaxy this season.
2. The Galaxy have gone winless in their last eight home games, giving NYCFC the opportunity to win the three points they're looking for.
3. With those three points, NYCFC will have the chance to move into second place in the Eastern Conference, right below Toronto FC.
4. NYCFC have not managed to win back-to-back victories since our four-match win streak in June, but that can change this weekend.
5. The series between NYCFC and LA Galaxy is tied at one win apiece, giving NYCFC the opportunity to take the lead.
6. There's a possibility that Rodney Wallace will be fit enough to be included in Saturday's game. He'll be hoping to see his first minutes since the end of June when an adductor strain ended his Gold Cup campaign early.
