The Los Angeles Galaxy have already clinched a spot in the MLS Cup playoffs but need to turn around a recent winless trend if they want to hold onto the third position in the Western Conference and the home playoff match that come with that seeding.That makes Sundays road match against the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium a crucial one for the Galaxy. The Dynamo have been eliminated from the postseason but can certainly put a bee in Los Angeles bonnet with a win in Houstons final home match of the season.Los Angeles (11-6-15, 48 points) has won only two of its last 12 matches (2-3-7) and cannot finish any higher than its current standing. The Galaxy had their winless run stretched to three games on Oct. 1 after dropping a 1-0 road match at FC Dallas that also snapped a string of five consecutive games of having scored multiple goals.Injuries continue to disrupt the Galaxys chemistry. Forward Gyasi Zardes is out with a broken foot, midfielder Steven Gerrard is home in Liverpool, England, rehabbing a hamstring injury and forward Robbie Keanes availability will be determined at game time.Still, Los Angeles has serious bona fides: it has dropped just six matches all season, second only to Colorados five, and forward Giovano Dos Santos is back with the squad after finishing his duties with Mexicos national team.Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena argued that he is not concerned with his teams current form or the road ahead.What am I concerned about? Who said I was concerned? Arena told reporters this week. I never said I was concerned. Where we are right now -- were in position to win the MLS Cup. Were in the playoffs.Houston (7-13-12, a Western Conference-low 33 points), which has yet to decide whether interim head coach Wade Barrett will return in 2017, refuses to adopt a role of spoiler in the final stretch, even as it kept Seattle from clinching a playoff spot with a 0-0 draw in the Emerald City on Wednesday.Its been a tough season for us but were still after positive results, Barrett said. We all have a lot to play for and I have a lot to coach for. Part of it is professional pride. You want to step on the field and compete and do well. Were in it for our reasons, not for theirs.The Galaxy have won both previous contests against the Dynamo in 2016, a 4-1 win in Houston in April that was their first ever at BBVA Compass Stadium and a 1-0 victory at home in July. Frans Nielsen Jersey . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse.

Alex Delvecchio Red Wings Jersey . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. Devendra Bishoo, the West Indies legspinner who took three wickets on day one of the Antigua Test, feels West Indies are still in a competitive position despite India going to stumps on 302 for 4.No, I dont think we are under any pressure at all, Bishoo said at the end of the days play. The game could change just like that. It was a tough day for us, but you never know. Tomorrow morning were going to come and put the work in.West Indies went into the match with a long batting line-up, with allrounders Carlos Brathwaite and Jason Holder slotting in at No. 8 and No. 9, but that meant they only had one genuine fast bowler, Shannon Gabriel, in their attack. Bishoo did not agree with the idea that West Indies may have missed having an extra frontline bowler.No, no, no. At the end of day, whatever team we have to play with as a team, we have to play, he said. We support each other and give our 100%. Im not going to put anything on anybody. To play good cricket, bowlers have to do their job and batsmen have to do theirs.The bowlers, he felt, could have done a better job overall, on a good pitch to bat on. West Indies kept India to 72 for 1 in the first session, buut could not maintain their stifling lines and lengths as the day wore on.ddddddddddddYeah, we could have been in a better position probably. Bishoo said. At the end of the day, its a good pitch and the Indian batsmen kept relishing it. We just didnt put the ball in the areas as much, but we bowled good in patches.I think Shannon bowled really good upfront today and he started off very, very well. He bowled with great pace. The rest of the bowlers, as I said, bowled well in patches. We need to be a bit more patient because the wicket is good.Making his debut for West Indies, allrounder Roston Chase sent down 17 overs on the first day, the joint-most for West Indies behind Bishoos 27. Bishoo said he wasnt surprised that Chase got the ball ahead of him.Chase and me are different bowlers and the ball was newer. It was ideal to go with him first. I have got no problem with that, Bishoo said. Hes more of a part-time offspinner. But hes going to be bowling a lot of overs. Hes more like a batting allrounder, but hes a very good bowler. ' ' '
