MK Dons make their first trip to Plough Lane on Saturday to take on AFC Wimbledon.

The three previous meetings between the sides in the capital have taken place at Kingsmeadow, where Dons have won one, lost one and drawn one (going on to win on penalties), with the majority of the encounters taking place at Stadium MK. In 10 games, Dons have won five, lost twice and drawn three times,

Earlier this season, two goals in the opening 13 minutes ensured a share of the points between the sides when they met at the end of October and shared a 1-1 draw.

Russell Martin's side have made a reasonable start to 2021, with two wins, two defeats and a draw to their name, while three wins and two defeats make up their last five in League One and sit 16th.

Glyn Hodges' side have to look back to December 2, 2020 for their last win in League One, and have taken just two points from a possible 30 as they dropped into the relegation zone, and will start the day 21st in the table, six points adrift of MK Dons. AFC Wimbledon's record at the new stadium is two wins, one draw and five defeats.

Ben Toner will take charge of the game - his 20th outing of the season. He has booked 60 players so far, and sent off two. He dished out just one yellow card during his last MK Dons appearance, during the 1-0 win over Barnet in the FA Cup second round in November. Ravel Cheosiaua and Nicholas Cooper will run the lines, with Fourth Official Paul Kelly.

The bookmakers have Dons at 5/4 to win, AFC Wimbledon at 11/5 and 12/5 the draw.
