AFC Wimbledon will look to continue their strong home form when they host Milton Keynes Dons in League One on Thursday evening. The Dons travel to Plough Lane with both sides aiming to climb the table after mixed starts to the season.
Johnnie Jackson's side moved up to seventh place with 10 points from six games after a 1-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers last Saturday. Myles Hippolyte scored the only goal in that match, taking his tally for the season to three in six appearances. That win followed a 2-0 success at Bromley, giving Wimbledon back-to-back victories after a heavy 4-1 defeat at Burton Albion.
Their recent home record is a source of confidence, with clean-sheet wins against Wigan and Doncaster at Plough Lane this term. The visitors, managed by Mike Williamson, sit 20th and are yet to win in the league this campaign, drawing four of their opening five matches.
Wimbledon are expected to name a similar side to the one that beat Doncaster, with James Bursik in goal behind a back four of Isaac Ogundere, Finley Simmonds, Ryan Johnson and Steve Seddon. The midfield trio of Ollie Harrison, Armani Smith and Charlie Maycock will look to supply forwards Hippolyte and Jayden Stockley. Check the latest team news and the full squad list for any updates.
The match kicks off at 19:00 UTC on Thursday, 17 September. A win could see Wimbledon close the gap to the automatic promotion places, as they currently sit three points behind leaders Sheffield Wednesday.
