MK Dons 1-0 AFC Wimbledon: Dons see off a late flurry to claim victory

Four changes for MK Dons as Ravizzoli starts as expected, Tennai Watson comes in, as does Ethan Robson and Theo Corbeanu gets his first start.

MK Dons team: Ravizzoli, Lewington, O’Hora, Darling, Harvie, Watson, Robson, O’Riley, Corbeanu Twine, Eisa

Subs: Sandford, Jules, McEachran, Boateng, Parrott, Ilunga, Kioso

The importance of the game to the supporters is not lost on Dons defender Harry Darling, who wants to send the fans home happy tonight.

Liam Manning says he has been asking around Stadium MK about the history and some of the more famous moments from clashes between the two sides down the years... there have been a couple we can think of!

“It's such a unique game in terms of how it started,” he said. “There aren't any other games like it. I want to do well in it. It's important we understand it, the traditions and histories of the club you're at, and the future of the club too. Understanding history of those rivalries is so important.”

Following the departures of both Andrew Fisher and Laurie Walker, who left last Thursday, Franco Ravizzoli is now the only first team keeper at Liam Manning’s disposal for tonight’s game.
