How to watch LA Galaxy vs. Portland Timbers in MLS: With and without cable

The Los Angeles Galaxy are top of the Western Conference but their form has been mixed recently with three wins and two defeats in their last five MLS games. They beat the Colorado Rapids 3-2 this week, with Riqui Puig scoring the winner. The midfielder has now scored seven goals with five assists in 21 MLS games this season.

The Galaxy may not have the stars of the past that have included David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Landon Donovan. However, Puig is the star for Greg Vanney's current side.

The Portland Timbers are the Galaxy's opposition this weekend. They are seventh in the Western Conference, so just in the automatic playoff places. The Timbers defeated third-placed Real Salt Lake 3-0 in their last match.
