MK Dons face AFC Wimbledon at Sky Bet League One on Saturday. Coverage gets underway live on Sky Sports Football from 11.30am, whilst kick-off is at midday.
Winger Brennan Dickenson could be handed a league start against rivals AFC Wimbledon by MK Dons manager Paul Tisdale. Dickenson, a summer signing from Colchester, was one of eight changes for the 3-0 midweek Leasing.com Trophy triumph over Stevenage and is expected to become involved .
Striker Sam Nombe can be in contention after the 20-year-old impressed two goals on Tuesday night. Summer signing Joe Mason (hamstring), defender Jordan Moore-Taylor (knee) and midfielder Ben Reeves, who picked up a leg injury after inadvertently kicking himself through training, all keep their recovery.
AFC Wimbledon could hand debuts. Striker Marcus Forss signed on a loan from Brentford, while defender Ryan Delaney united until January on loan from Rochdale.
England Under-19s midfielder Max Sanders finished a loan change out of Premier League Brighton to return to the club. Although Dylan Connolly has joined Bradford on loan midfielder Anthony Wordsworth has declared training after a shoulder problem and also an Achilles tendon injury.
MK Dons sit 15th in the League One standings following a start that lost three times and has seen them win. 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 two previous league fixtures, against Accrington and Peterborough, scoring just 1 goal in the procedure.
AFC Wimbledon avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth term and the opening of the season has suggested they may face a similar fate this season. Wally Downes’ men having scored as well as sit 21st before kick-off, without a win for their name.
Paul Tisdale:”It is another game. We must prepare in precisely the way and it’s 11 vs 11, a football field, because the folks on the periphery and the things which go on around the game of soccer make it different, however it is not another game. Our job will be to make it as normal as possible.
“Let us be fair about itwe know the dynamic of this particular game. There is the little matter of trying to beat the resistance and there is only three factors at stake. That is the fact of this. We are aware that it’s a different game, but we will try as hard as we do in every other match.”
Wally Downes:”The feelings are like a derby: Liverpool vs Everton, Man Utd vs Man City. The feelings do run , the form book goes out the window and it’s all about the effect on the bragging rights along with the afternoon .
“They weren’t even a group when I was playing I’ve got the burden of the feeling of the lovers on my shoulders as well as the team have, but that is a terrific point to continue because they constructed the club. It’s exactly like playing a derby and three more points.”
For the ninth time in history enemies AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons meet at Stadium MK this Saturday as well as ever, there’s a lot of emotion. There’s no love lost still.
To get AFC, the bragging rights have fallen within their favor: Triumphing 3-2 in a Johnstone’s Paint Trophy assembly in October 2014, in addition to that a 2-0 League One win in March 2017. MK boast a record that is better so far this year, but will the loan signings of both Max Sanders this week, Marcus Forss along with Ryan Delaney improve their competitors’ fortunes this weekend?
The past two meetings between MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon in most contests have completed level – that a 0-0 draw at Stadium MK at January 2018 along with a 2-2 draw last month at a League Cup match in the Cherry Reds Records Stadium – a match that saw MK Dons progress on penalties.
AFC Wimbledon have managed only one victory in five prior visits to MK Dons in all competitions (P5 W1 D1 L3), a 3-2 victory back in October 2014 at a Football League Trophy encounter.
MK Dons have dropped three of their last four league games (W1), as many as they had done in their previous 10.
Wimbledon have just won one of the last 12 League One outings (D7 L4), with a recent winless run of seven matches (D3 L4).
Wimbledon have conceded five goals than any other hand in the division; 2 more from corners League One this season.
This should be a affair! MK Dons come back in League One and making a good fist of it was relegated a couple seasons ago in rather dismal fashion.
AFC Wimbledon, as I’ve mentioned previously, enjoyed a survival last year and are set for another season of battle. Where it was cut by MK penalties, these two have met in the Carabao Cup last month. I think that they will win this one.
David Prutton predicts: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet)
