Not many teams can overcome the loss of their star player, but the LA Galaxy have the depth to compensate for Riqui Puig's torn ACL and win MLS Cup.

MLS Cup is a chance for a team's stars to shine at their brightest but when the LA Galaxy host the New York Red Bulls in MLS' biggest match on Saturday, they'll be without their biggest star in the middle in Riqui Puig.

For the Red Bulls, they haven't even appeared in MLS Cup since 2008 and will have a chance to win it for the first time. It's quite a contrast to the sleeping giants in the Galaxy who have already won a league-record five MLS Cups but have also not appeared in one since 2014. Let's take a look at what to know ahead of this clash:
