Match Preview
MK's MacKenzie back in contention Gary MacKenzie comes back into the reckoning for MK Dons ahead of the visit of Notts County. MacKenzie has completed a three-match suspension following his red card for violent conduct during the home draw against Huddersfield. His return leaves manager Karl Robinson with a decision to make over who partners Shaun Williams at centre-half, with Mark Beevers and Tom Flanagan also in contention. Right-back Adam Smith (ankle), midfielder Jay O'Shea (ankle) and striker Jabo Ibehre (hamstring) remain out. Meanwhile, Charlie MacDonald has undergone a scan on his thigh injury and will be out for around another month. The striker, signed from Brentford at the end of August, scored in his first three outings for the Dons but has not featured since hobbling off against Sheffield Wednesday on September 10. Notts County have Rob Burch available again. The goalkeeper has missed the last two matches with a knee injury but has now been declared fit after he resumed training. Burch is likely to provide cover on the bench for number one Stuart Nelson, should manager Martin Allen opt to name a keeper among his five substitutes. Charlie Allen was left out of the squad against Rochdale last weekend after suffering a dead leg in the previous game against Stevenage. It remains to be seen whether the midfielder will return to contention. On-loan West Ham youngster Cristian Montano, fellow forward Karl Hawley and defender Sam Sodje are available for recalls should Allen wish to make changes on his return to his former club.

Match Report
Dons no match for 10-man County Clinton Morrison scored one and set up another as MK Dons eased past 10-man Notts County 3-0 to climb up to second in League One. An exquisite first-half finish from Angelo Balanta plus late goals from Morrison and substitute Daniel Powell handed the Dons their first win in five league games after Magpies defender Julian Kelly had seen red early on. County faced an uphill task from the start as Kelly was shown a straight red card in only the fourth minute for handling Dean Bowditch's shot on the goalline. Williams' penalty was well saved by Stuart Nelson but Balanta put the Dons ahead just five minutes later, playing a neat one-two with Morrison before expertly dinking the ball over the onrushing keeper. Nelson then saved Williams' low 25-yard drive at full stretch before Gary MacKenzie and Balanta missed further chances for the rampant hosts before half-time. County rallied after the break and Lee Hughes had a fierce angled drive tipped wide by David Martin. But two late goals wrapped up the win for the Dons as Morrison tapped in Bowditch's low cross and then Powell scored a fine solo goal.
