Looking out at the Los Angeles Galaxy lineup for tonight's match against the Columbus Crew, many things have changed, but that's partly because they've gone back to being the same. Juan Pablo Angel is no longer joined up top by Landon Donovan, who resume his duties in the midfield. Miguel Lopez is up top with Angel, while Adam Cristman isn't even on the gameday 18. Some reward for two goals last week. David Beckham remains in central midfield, while both Mike Magee and Michael Stephens sit for Jovan Kirovski. Omar Gonzalez is out with a fractured nose, so Greg Berhalter remains in the starting back four for another week. The full lineups:
