MK Dons are now managed by Karl Robinson who took over from Paul Ince in May. Karl at 29 is the youngest manager in the Football league having been Paul's assistant prior to his appointment. Former England coach John Gorman is his assistant. Paul Ince left saying "I don't feel it will be possible to take the team forward". This after a horrendous second half of the season with their last home win coming on 9th March against Swindon. Amongst their ranks this season is former Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who scored the last International goal at the old Wembley Stadium before its demolition for Germany against England in October 2000.

The Dons won 2-1 at Walsall on Saturday with Sam Baldock and Danny Woodards scoring for the visitors.

The daggers expect to be at full strength for the tie although Stadium MK isn't their favourite hunting ground having lost both of their previous meetings there. The last meeting was last season in the first round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy where the Daggers were beaten 1-3.

Tickets for Tuesday night's game are available from the MK Dons Box Office right up to half-time. Tickets are from £10 for Adults, £8 for Concessions and £1 for Under-16s.
