Houston Dynamo (12-8-9) at Chivas USA (13-10-6)

Galaxy fans will be watching this one as closely as Chivas USA supporters given that the clubs will meet next Sunday should Houston beat or tie the home team.

A half dozen changes for Preki today after Chivas USA's rather meek 1-0 loss to the Chicago Fire last time out.

Carey Talley and Ante Jazic replace Mariano Trujillo and Jonathan Bornstein at full back respectively, with Bornstein sliding into the middle in place of Shavar Thomas who drops to the bench.
