If the big star recruits of the mid-summer period haven't quite delivered gangbusters for LAFC, they have already turned the MLS Cup favourites into another stern side.
Missing out on the Supporters Shield when they looked to be cruising towards it will be a sting to their pride however. Cristian Tello meanwhile could make another appearance following his move from Betis.
