Goalkeeper: Raúl Rangel – Tala continues to consolidate itself in the red and white goal and unlike its predecessors, there are few complaints about its performance.

Defense: Antonio Briseño – El Pollo has been able to replace Gilberto Sepulveda in the center, with good defensive work in the aerial game, he also converted a target in a corner kick against the university students.

Defense: Leo Sepúlveda – The appearance of the youth player at the center instead of Chiquete was surprising. Unlike the duel where he debuted and was sent off after five minutes, this time he
excelled to overshadow the rival attack.

Left back: Orozco Chiquete – The big surprise of the lineup was the departure of Mateo Chavezwho had been a starter since the start of the semester, leaving the youth player as a full-back, a position he knows well.

Right back: Alan Mozo – The former university student forgot his birth colors and played a great game against the cats, once again disappearing his rivals, especially César Huerta, and also assisted the first goal.

Pivot: Víctor Guzmán – Despite not being an attacker, the red and white captain is currently the scoring leader with six goals.

Midfielder: Fernando Beltrán – He is not yet at his best level, but El Nene is another of the players who is hardly outside the coach's plans.

Midfielder: Erick Gutiérrez – For now El Guti has remained at the beginning because his good control of the ball is to the liking of Fernando Gago.

Far right: Roberto Alvarado – For many, El Piojo was the best element from Guadalajara against the cats, especially for his assist in the last goal where he broke the Uruguayan Robert Erggas and Chino Huerta.

Left Wing: Cade Cowell – Finally El Cowboy was able to score his first goal in Liga MX, apart from replacing Pavel Perez, who suffered a muscle contracture, but has already recovered. However, the Mexican-American could play the first 45 minutes thinking about the National Classic of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Forward: Ricardo Marín – It seems that there is not much competition in the attack to be the '9', but without a doubt 4K has been the most relevant in recent years because it helps the offense a lot.

This is what Chivas' possible lineup would look like (4-3-3):

Goalie: Raúl Rangel
Defenses: 'Pollo' Briseño, Leo Sepúlveda, Chiquete Orozco, Alan Mozo
Midfielders: 'Pocho' Guzmán, Fernando Beltrán, Erick Gutiérrez
Forwards: Cade Cowell, 'Piojo' Alvarado, Ricardo Marín
Substitutes: 'Chicharito' Hernández, Mateo Chávez, Alan Torres, Alejandro Organista, JJ Macías, Jesús Sánchez, Juan Brigido, Óscar Whalley, 'Oso' González, 'Bunny' Brizuela, Pável Pérez
