Stockport County v MK Dons

TEAM NEWS
Dons manager Paul Ince has no new injury concerns ahead of the highly-anticipated clash against Stockport.

Drissa Diallo (shoulder), Colin Cameron (knee), Paul Mitchell (leg) and Craig Dobson (groin) remain the Dons' only absentees as they look to clinch promotion and possibly the title at Edgeley Park.

Stockport have a doubt over Michael Raynes' fitness after the defender was replaced at half-time in last week's 1-0 win at Peterborough.

On-loan Manchester City youngster Shaleum Logan is expected to continue in midfield with Stephen Gleeson nursing a hamstring injury.

FORM
After successive home draws with Wycombe and Hereford, Saturday's trip to the Hatters will be the Dons' third chance to mathematically secure promotion to League 1.

Paul Ince's league leaders are now 15 games without defeat and their away record of 16 wins, three draws and just two defeats is the best in the country by a distance. They have won their last seven away from stadiummk.

A point would be enough to see the Dons guarantee promotion, a win coupled with a defeat for Peterborough at Hereford would see them crowned champions.

Tuesday night's draw with Hereford was the Dons' second in a row.

Just a point behind third-placed Hereford, Stockport's recent run has put them right in the automatic promotion shake-up.

County are unbeaten in their last 10, winning nine of those and are unquestionably the form team in the division.

Their last defeat came at home to Bury on February 16 and since then, they've beaten promotion rivals Hereford, Rochdale, Darlington and Peterborough.
