Preview: Sheffield United vs. MK Dons

Last updated : 23 October 2011 By @blades_mad1889

United come into this match after a trip to the Orient last Saturday were after leading by one goal to nil the Blades threw the game away in the dying moments to draw 1-1. United missed several chances during the game to take the lead, but the game changed when O’s Charlie Daniels was dismissed for a tackle on Lee Williamson.

On 84th minute Chris Porter poked home into an empty net after the keeper parried shots from Ched Evans and Kevin McDonald. That looked to be the winner until deep into stoppage time, the home side had been awarded with a free-kick which was drilled in by Dean Cox – Steve Simonsen failed to punch clear with veteran Kevin Lisbie on hand to fire home; 1-1.

Blades boss Danny Wilson will be without Chris Morgan (knee), Andy Taylor (knee) and Johannes Ertl (knee) are all sidelined through injury ahead of our clash at the Lane tonight.

Milton Keynes Dons lay sixth in the table following their 0-0 draw at home to Scunthorpe United last Saturday.

The Dons are likely to be without striker Clinton Morrison who saw his loan deal (from Sheffield Wednesday) end against the Iron – he could however play if the club are in a position to extend the deal.

There only absentee being midfielder Jay O’Shea (ankle) through injury, though forward Jabo Ibehre is close to a return after playing a behind-closed-doors friendly against Queens Park Rangers.
