The Galaxy, winners of four consecutive games, are back on the road today in Seattle (1 p.m.; ESPN).
It has been an emotional week for the Sounders with the front office relieving Sigi Schmid of his coaching duties and also the club signing Nicolas Lodeiro to a Designated Player contract.
Fun numbers to watch: with a victory, Galaxy coach Bruce Arena would become the second MLS coach to reach 200 regular season victories.
Also, in 10 games against Seattle, Robbie Keane has scored seven goals and three assists.
