Dons were dispatched from the first round of the competition last year, losing 1-0 to Port Vale at Stadium MK in Russell Martin's first game in charge. They have a decent record against non-league sides though, beating Hyde and Maidstone most recently en route to the third round in 2017/18.

Eastleigh have been giant killers in the FA Cup before, having knocked out Swindon in 2016, and took Bolton to a replay the year before.
