MK Dons confront AFC Wimbledon in Sky Bet League One on Saturday. Coverage gets Published live on Sky Sports Football from 11.30am, while kick-off is currently at midday.
MK Dons manager Paul Tisdale can hand a primary league start against opponents AFC Wimbledon to winger Brennan Dickenson. Dickenson, a summer signing from Colchester, was among eight changes for the 3-0 midweek Leasing.com Trophy win over Stevenage and is expected to be involved again.
Striker Sam Nombe can be in contention following the impressed by two goals on Tuesday night. Summer registering Joe Mason (hamstring), defender Jordan Moore-Taylor (knee) and midfielder Ben Reeves, who picked up a leg injury after accidentally kicking himself through training, all keep their recovery.
AFC Wimbledon could hand debuts to all three of their newest signings. Whilst defender Ryan Delaney joined on loan from Rochdale until January finnish striker Marcus Forss signed on a season-long loan from Brentford.
England Under-19s midfielder Max Sanders completed a loan switch to go back to the club. Midfielder Anthony Wordsworth has declared full training following an Achilles tendon injury and also a shoulder issue, while Dylan Connolly has combined Bradford on loan.
MK Dons now sit 15th in the League One standings after a beginning that has seen them win twice and lost three occasions. Their recent cup strikes – a 3-0 victory over Stevenage in the Leasing.com Trophy and also a 4-1 away beating of Southend in the Carabao Cup – mask the fact they’ve lost their 2 previous league fittings, against Accrington and Peterborough, scoring only one goal in the procedure.
AFC Wimbledon avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth term and the month of the season has indicated they may face a similar fate this year. 21st sits ahead of kick-off and having scored only five goals.
Paul Tisdale:”It is another match. We must prepare in precisely exactly the way and it’s a football field, 11 vs 11, but it is not another game because the folks on the periphery and all the things that go on all over the game of soccer ensure it is distinct. Our job is to make it as ordinary as possible.
“Let us be fair about it, we know the dynamic of this game. There is the small matter of attempting to win against the opposition and there’s only 3 factors at stake. That’s the reality of it. We are aware that it is a different game, but we are going to try as soon as we do in every other game.”
Wally Downes:”The feelings are like a derby: Liverpool vs Everton, Man Utd vs Man City. The opinions do run high, the form book goes out the window and it is about the effect on the afternoon and the bragging rights afterwards.
“They weren’t a group when I was playing so I’ve got the burden of this sensation of the fans in my shoulders and the team have, but that’s a wonderful point to carry because they built the club. It is exactly like enjoying a derby and three more points.”
For the ninth time in history enemies AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons match at Stadium MK this Saturday as well as ever, there’s loads of emotion. There is not any love lost still.
To get AFC, the bragging rights have dropped in their favor: Triumphing 3-2 in a Johnstone’s Paint Trophy meeting in October 2014, as well as that a League One win in March 2017. MK boast a record up to now this year, but will the loan signings of Marcus Forss Ryan Delaney and Max Sanders earlier this week boost their competitions’ fortunes this weekend?
The last two meetings between MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon in most contests have completed degree – a 0-0 draw at Stadium MK at January 2018 along with a 2-2 draw a month in a League Cup match at the Cherry Reds Records Stadium – a game that saw MK Dons advancement on penalties.
AFC Wimbledon have managed only one victory in five previous visits to MK Dons in most competitions (P5 W1 D1 L3), a 3-2 victory back in October 2014 in a Football League Trophy encounter.
MK Dons have dropped three of their last four league games (W1), as many as they’d done in their previous 10.
Wimbledon have only won one of their last 12 League One outings (D7 L4), using a recent winless run of seven games (D3 L4).
Wimbledon have conceded five goals than every other hand in the branch; two more in the corners in League One this year.
Now this ought to be a tasty affair! MK Dons come creating a decent fist of it having been relegated a couple of seasons back in fashion and back in League One.
AFC Wimbledon, as I’ve said before, enjoyed a fantastic survival last season and are likely set for another season of battle. In which MK edged it, these two have met from the Carabao Cup last month. I believe they can win this one too.
David Prutton predicts: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
