In a roundabout way, the teams' respective paths to the final have felt like mirror images. The Crew earned a bye to the last 32 by virtue of beating LAFC in last year's MLS Cup final – revenge will certainly be a motivating factor tonight – while Steve Cherundolo's men failed to top their group... before catching fire in the knockouts.

The near-telepathic connection between Rossi and Cucho Hernandez is a thing of beauty, but the Crew have a habit of dicing with danger at the back, for which they've been punished more than once. Cristian Olivera, Mateusz Bogusz and Kei Kamara have all netted at least three times for LAFC – can Olivier Giroud finally break his duck?
