MK Dons will be hopeful to extend their undefeated streak to five games on Saturday when they take on League One's bottom club Bolton Wanderers at Stadium MK.

Picking up eight points from the last 12, Dons are now 10 points clear of the drop zone but will want their first win over the Trotters in five years. The first meeting between the sides in fact is Dons' only win over Bolton, with Daniel Powell's goal helping them to a rare win in the Championship. Since, there have been two 1-1 draws and two Bolton wins.

The most recent was an action-packed game at the University of Bolton Stadium in November. There, Russell Martin was still chasing his first win, but was dealt a hammer blow when George Williams was sent off, Baily Cargill gave away a late penalty which was saved by Lee Nicholls, before Daryl Murphy swept home in stoppage time.

Dons though are in strong form at home, winning six of their last seven at Stadium MK.

Bolton, who started the season on -12 points, have just one win in their last 11 games. In fact, their last three wins have come against Southend and Tranmere - both in the relegation zone - and Dons, who were in the bottom three at the time. It all means they are five points adrift at the bottom of the league, though they would be level on points with Tranmere had they not been penalised.

Ollie Yates will be in charge of the game, his 29th game of the season. He has booked 96 and sent off seven this season. Dons fans last saw him in the dismal 3-0 home defeat to Burton Albion in October. Samuel Ogles and Paul Graham run the lines and Fourth Official is Daniel Cook.

Bookmakers have Dons at 4/6, Bolton at 4/1 and 14/5 the draw.
