We know it’s not the most popular of competitions, but Walsall manager Michael Flynn admitted he doesn’t care about the match tonight

I have just said I don’t care about Tuesday, it is the last thing on my mind with so many injuries.

Players are playing too much who are not used to it – and we have to be very, very careful on Tuesday, as a couple are close to getting a muscle injury and that is something we haven’t had yet.

MK Dons in desperate need of a win

Not only would a win secure Dons spot in the next round of the Trophy, but it would also be a massive morale boost after their recent run.

Suffering three consecutive defeats to Shrewsbury, Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle have Dons down in the dumps, the fans disillusioned and the team low on confidence.

A three-point win would put Dons through to the next round, but hopefully it will do so much more too.
