Here are Colin’s keys as the 'Caps take on league-leading LAFC.

Defensively strong

Must be committed defensively from front to back.

Have to stay with the runners.

Watch for their threaded passes in the final third.

Hitting on the counter

The ‘Caps can get at LAFC on the counter.

But they must be clinical.

LAFC's centre backs are good but are a bit erratic.

Cubas' Quality

Take advantage of Cubas' abilities.

His influence he's having in this 'Caps team is immense, he covers plenty of ground, makes key tackles and is a great passer of the ball.

His simplicity and quality is raising our standards.
