Uwe Rosler pipped Dons boss Robbie Neilson to the League 1 Manager of the Month award for January as he led the Cod Army to 13 points from a possible 15 to kick off 2017 in style.
Their tremendous run has seen them climb to fourth in the table, with just one league defeat since November.

"They play 3-5-2, they've got a lot of pace up front. It'll be tough, they're coming here in good form and pushing for automatic promotion."
Dons though have a good record against Fleetwood, and in fact hit them with their biggest defeat of the season.
Ryan Colclough scored a hat-trick at the Hughbury Stadium back in September as Dons ran out 4-1 winners.

Neilson’s side though go into the game in patchy form, having won one, drawn two and lost one of their last four games on their way to 14th in the table.
