Match Preview
Mixed news for Adkins Dale Stephens is added to the Southampton squad for the visit of MK Dons. Stephens joined Saints on loan from Oldham last week and could make an immediate debut for Nigel Adkins` side with an injury concern hanging over Adam Lallana while fellow midfielders Alex Chamberlain and Morgan Schneiderlin miss out. Lallana should recover from a groin injury in time but teenage star Chamberlain rolled his ankle against Charlton a fortnight ago and is possibly looking at a couple of weeks on the sidelines. Schneiderlin is still out with a knee injury and joins winger Lee Holmes (ankle) and striker David Connolly (groin) in the treatment room. Midfielder Oscar Gobern serves the final game of the three-match ban he received for his red card at Bournemouth. MK Dons manager Karl Robinson could hand Angelo Balanta a start. The on-loan QPR striker made his return to first-team action as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with Walsall last week after being sidelined since November with an ankle injury, and is pushing for a starting place. Fellow loanee Keanu Marsh-Brown has returned to fitness following a groin injury but is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench. Midfielder Adam Clayton, who has joined the Dons on loan from Leeds until the end of the season, was an un-used substitute against the Saddlers and will be hoping to make his debut against Saints. Luke Chadwick, fresh from signing a new two-year contract at stadium:mk this week, should continue in midfield as the Dons look to continue their push for promotion at St Mary`s.

Match Report
Forte at the double A quick-fire second-half double from Jonathan Forte helped Southampton come from two down to beat promotion rivals MK Dons 3-2. The visitors had taken the lead against the run of play just after the half-hour, when Gary MacKenzie converted from a Peter Leven corner. They doubled their advantage seven minutes into the second half when the impressive Sam Baldock latched onto a Stephen Gleeson pass before firing a powerful left-footed shot low past Kelvin Davis from 15 yards. Saints looked out of the contest but two goals inside a minute from substitute Forte turned the game on its head. His first, after 66 minutes, saw the former Scunthorpe winger expertly control Rickie Lambert's left-wing pull-back before volleying home from six yards. And 60 seconds later, Dan Harding was the provider as his left-wing ball was palmed into Forte's path by Dons keeper David Martin, allowing him to poke home unmarked from point-blank range. The fightback was completed 13 minutes from time when Lee Barnard collected Adam Lallana's prodded through-ball to smash home from 15 yards.
