Three Keys: Limiting Dos Santos
Yes, Keane and Zardes are not available for the Galaxy, but Gio Dos Santos is and that could cause problems for the Reds. It's not about completely eliminating the threat posed by the Mexico City native, but limiting his opportunities will be of the utmost importance. GDS has registered six goals and five assists in 10 starts for the Galaxy this season. Drew Moor, who reigned in Didier Drogba twice this season, will be tasked with another difficult matchup on Saturday night.
