Galaxy Look to Extend Unbeaten Streak at FC Dallas

For the first time this season, the Galaxy will be without their forward pairing of Edson Buddle and Landon Donovan but even without that dynamic duo, they will look to extend their unbeaten streak to 10 to open the season when they take on FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park.

Kickoff is just around the corner and Bruce Arena brings in five changes from Saturday's 0-0 draw with Toronto FC. Buddle and Donovan are each away, while Jovan Kirovski and Josh Saunders return to the bench and Bryan Jordan does not dress because of a right hamstring strain. In their place, Donovan Ricketts, A.J. DeLaGarza, Chris Klein and Mike Magee all return to the starting XI while Tristan Bowen makes the first start of his MLS career. Additionally with Jordan unable to go, Yohance Marshall has been recalled from his loan with the Austin Aztex of the USSF Division 2 Pro League and is one of Arena's seven available substitutes.

Here is the complete Galaxy lineup...

-----------------Magee------------Bowen-----------------
