LAFC are all set for their Leagues Cup semi-final matchup against Colorado Rapids Wednesday night at BMO Stadium.
The Western Conference team managed to find their way to the last four of the summer tournament after taking down conference foes Seattle Sounders 3-0 on the road. Goals from Denis Bouanga, Ryan Hollingshead and Kei Kamara ensured victory for the visitors as Steve Cherundolo eyes a shot at silverware with his star-studded squad.

Cherundolo will more than likely stick to his 3-4-3 system that's got him this far in Leagues Cup rather than the typical 4-3-3 setup we've become accustomed to see LAFC lineup in. With Timothy Tillman and Cristian Olivera out through injury, Cherundolo could look to pick a similar starting lineup to the one that secured them a place in the Leagues Cup semi-finals.
Here's how the Black and Gold could take the pitch against Colorado.

GK: Hugo Lloris - The veteran shot-stopper starts in goal after making two saves while also grabbing an assists in his last outing.
CB: Jesus Murillo - Murillo keeps his place in the backline after a solid showing vs the Sounders.
CB: Maxime Chanot - Another start is on the cards for the former NYCFC defender as he anchors the heart of the LAFC backline.
CB: Aaron Long - The 31-year-old has been in fine form as of late and will look to continue that trend against the Rapids.
RWB: Sergi Palencia - Although Ryan Hollingshead is more comfortable as a right wing-back, Palencia has excelled on the right-hand side in recent matches and should keep his place at the position.
CM: Eduard Atuesta - Atuesta has been solid overall in his second stint with the Black and Gold as he partners Sanchez in the middle of the park.
CM: Ilie Sanchez - The experienced midfielder is the glue in the midfield that keeps everything ticking for LAFC.
LWB: Ryan Hollingshead - The former FC Dallas player starts again at left wing-back, looking to add his third goal involvement in as many matches.
RW: Mateusz Bogusz - The versatile Poland international will more than likely feature on the right-wing from the start with Olivera out through injury.
ST: Olivier Giroud - Giroud could be set to make his first start for LAFC after a couple of brief cameos off the bench.
LW: Denis Bouanga - The reigning Golden Boot winner has been on fire in recent weeks and will hope to continue that theme against a familiar opponent Wednesday night.
