Manning appears to have found a formula to have swung things back in Dons’ favour lately, and though he has the likes of Mo Eisa and Tennai Watson back available to him, we predict there will be six changes from the side which took to the field on Tuesday night against Morecambe.
Here’s how we think Dons line line-up.
