The British influence keeps growing in Major League Soccer. The new season kicks off on March 6 and you can follow all the action with Sky Sports.Here are five familiar names to look out for... Steven Gerrard LA Galaxy midfielder Steven Gerrard celebrates Steven Gerrard did not have the best introduction to MLS in 2015, a point he has alluded to in interviews, admitting he struggled to adapt to the long travel and varying altitudes. But with a full pre-season under his belt, Gerrard is expected to improve on his two goals and three assists from the second half of last season.The former Liverpool captain may also be encouraged by having a midfield destroyer in the shape of former Manchester City and AC Milan man Nigel de Jong next to him, allowing Gerrard greater creative freedom.Ashley Cole Ashley Cole joined LA Galaxy during the off-season Ashley Cole already has some critics Stateside, following his comments two years ago prior to his move to Roma that he rejected offers from the MLS because he wasnt ready to relax on a beach yet.However, now that he has made the move to California - famous for its great beaches - the former England international seems determined to impress.Cole has taken a wage cut to $300,000 a year (or £3,996 a week) to prove his doubters wrong - and improve on his frustrating spell in Serie A, which saw him make just 11 appearances for Roma.Frank Lampard Frank Lampard will be hoping for a successful 2016 with New York City Chelsea legend Frank Lampard scored three goals and recorded one assist in 10 appearances after his long-awaited mid-season move to New York City FC.The former England international had frustrated NYCFC fans by extending his stay at Manchester City until the end of the Premier League season and his MLS impact was delayed by a series of injuries, before he eventually scored his first goal in a 2-0 win against Toronto on September 16.But this year, under the guidance of new head coach Patrick Vieira, Lampard will hope to combine successfully with David Villa and Andrea Pirlo and fire New York City into a play-off place after they finished below the red line in 2015 in a disappointing first season for the club.Bradley Wright-Phillips Bradley Wright-Phillips has been a prolific goalscorer for New York Red Bulls Bradley Wright-Phillips has been a consistent goalscorer for New York Red Bulls for the last two seasons and has been the focal point of their attack.The former Manchester City, Southampton and Charlton striker scored 17 goals last season on the back of his 27-goal haul in 2014. If he scores 14 goals this season, he will become the Red Bulls all-time leading goalscorer.The 30-year-old also registered seven assists last year as he showed himself to be a more imposing presence up front.The Red Bulls endured a disappointing finish to last season, losing in the MLS Cup Eastern Conference final, and Wright-Phillips will be determined to repeat his scoring feats of the past two seasons to fire the team back into the play-offs.Dom Dwyer Dom Dwyer (R) has been at Sporting Kansas City for four years One of the lesser known British players in MLS, Dwyer is actually one of the most productive. The Sussex-born 25-year-old has been making waves in American soccer since being drafted into the top tier from college in 2012.The former Norwich City academy player has 36 goals in 80 appearances for Sporting Kansas City, where he has been the teams main striker for the last two seasons.In 2014, Dwyer scored 22 goals which made him the second highest scorer in the league. Last season, he got 10 less but was still a constant threat to opposition defences.In his fifth year of professional football, and likely to operate as the lone striker, Dwyer may return to the higher reaches of the scoring charts yet again.

Focus on ... the title fightCould this be Nico Rosbergs year? He has never led the drivers standings this late in the season and has rarely been on such convincing form as he was in Singapore. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, has struggled to kick start his season following the summer break following an engine penalty in Spa, a bad start in Monza and set-up issues in Singapore. The records of previous years point toward Hamilton edging Rosberg over the next six races, but the beauty of this sport is that anything can happen. One retirement and the title could swing dramatically one way or the other; one collision and we could be set for all-out war between the Mercedes drivers.This weekends Malaysian Grand Prix will be crucial to the title race. If Rosberg can extend his lead with a win, it will leave him a minimum of 15 points ahead of Hamilton and would mean the reigning world champions has gone two months without a victory. If Hamilton wins and Rosberg finishes second the gap will close to just one point, effectively resetting the championship with five races remaining. Bring it on.In need of a podiumAfter his run of three podiums in four races leading up to the summer break, Max Verstappens record since racing resumed looks rather disappointing. Its far from a crisis, but with Daniel Ricciardo coming within 0.4s of a win in Singapore, a podium ahead of his teammate this weekend would turn attention back to his side of the garage.In need of pointsJolyon Palmer has just six races left to prove he deserves a place on the F1 grid next year after his first 15 have passed without a point. In such a competitive driver market, only a series of points finishes are likely to convince the relevant decision makers that he should be given another chance next year. Kevin Magnussen scored a point in Singapore, but Malaysia is a very different track and only a mixed up race is likely to offer points on Sunday.ESPN predictionAlthough Ferrari won in Malaysia last year, its hard to look past a Mercedes victory this season. Lewis Hamilton has now gone three races without a win and desperately needs to prove that Singapore was just a one off. When Hamilton is fired up it is almost impossible to beat him and if the current situation doesnt motivate him its hard to know what will.WeatherIts easy to predict thunnderstorms in Sepang -- they happen pretty much every day -- but its harder to predict exactly when and where they will strike.dddddddddddd F1 weather experts at UBIMET say: As forecasting for Malaysia contains a degree of uncertainty, thundery showers cannot be excluded completely from the practice, qualifying or race sessions. Due to this uncertainty, further forecast details will be provided on a regular basis closer to the event.We say: Bring your umbrella.A lap with Romain GrosjeanBig braking into turn one - its very similar to China, both turns one and two. Long right-hand side corner, then a left hairpin. You need good traction. Then you have a long straight line going to turn four. Big braking, 90-degree right-hand side corner going up a crest. Then you have very high-speed corners going through turns five and six, almost flat out.Then its a small brake for the double right-hand turn eight. Its a mid-speed corner with very tricky traction going through to the next turn, another left-hand side hairpin. The right corner is very long. Its quite good fun when the car is well balanced. You then have a bit of straight line going to turns 12 and 13. Flat-out left corner, big braking, with g-forces from taking the corner. Then its a long straight line approaching the final corner. Big braking to carry minimum speed, then its full-throttle as early as you can to finish the lap.TyresAvailable compounds: Hard, Medium, SoftTyre facts, courtesy of Pirelli:?? Track temperatures are nearly always high: its actually possible to fry an egg on the asphalt.? In the past, wear and degradation has been high, making a multi-stop race likely.? Heavy rain has often been a feature of the Malaysian Grand Prix, even causing red flags. It also means that any rubber laid down is washed away, affecting the weekends track evolution.? Thermal degradation is an important factor, again due to high ambient and track temperatures.? Sepang is a varied circuit but there are also some fast corners with high lateral energy loads.? The new surface should mean that the track is a lot less bumpy.? The front-left tyre gets worked hardest, which tends to be the limiting factor in stint lengths. ' ' '
