MLSSOCCER.COM RANKS HUGO ARELLANO AS ONE OF THE TOP 10 DEFENDERS IN MLS UNDER 20 | INSIDER: MLSsoccer.com's Will Parchman ranked Arellano seventh among defenders in the league under the age of 20. Arellano, who was signed to a homegrown deal by the LA Galaxy in January, has made four appearances for Galaxy II this season.

"If you tuned into the US Under-17 team during the 2013-2015 cycle, you would've seen Hugo Arellano leading the back line with the captain's armband around his bicep," Parchman wrote of the defender. "There was a reason. Arellano is an exceedingly modern fullback, in that he's more comfortable starting builds than crashing into attackers.

"His recent pro deal and subsequent time with LA Galaxy II should help his defensive chops, because he's already there tactically in reading a match and playing out of the back. Even if he's a bit undersized (5-foot-11), his plus positioning instincts mean he's rarely in a spot to be beaten."

NEXT UP: LA Galaxy make the cross-country journey to New Jersey, where they take on New York Red Bulls at 3:00 p.m. PT on Sunday, May 14 at Red Bull Arena.

And in a unique piece of scheduling, LA Galaxy II will play USL defending champs NYRBII immediately after the first two teams square off. The USL sides will kick off at 6:00 p.m. PT inside Red Bull Arena. 2017 MLS Regular Season LA Galaxy vs. Chicago Fire Match #9 - Saturday, May 6 Location: StubHub Center Capacity: 27,167 Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. PT All-time vs. Chicago: 20-15-6 All-time home vs. Chicago: 11-6-3
