Milton Keynes Dons
- MK Dons (2 points from 2 games) are 14th in the table, but the draw with Huddersfield Town at least showed some grit.
- His team are winless in five games (3 draws, 2 defeats), having lost 4-1 away to Norwich City in the EFL Cup, followed by a 2-2 away draw against Oxford United and a 2-1 loss at home to Burton Albion in the league.
- The hosts have been a high-energy team with a flexible shape who aim to press and get bodies back when they are without the ball, and hit the opponent with high-tempo football when they have it.
-
Key players:
- Aaron Collins has been their leading star in 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 2 games and 2 of the Dons' last 5 goals.
- Ben Wiles has added some craft by supplying 1 assist in 2 games.
Leicester
- Leicester (1 point from 2 games) have had a shaky start in League One 2026-2027 and currently sit 18th.
- Leicester are unbeaten away in League One 2026-2027 with 1 draw from 1 away game, but are yet to win on the road.
- Leicester, by contrast, have played a brand of football that is, for want of a better description, a little more organised and pragmatic since Russell Martin took charge on 1 July 2026.
- The Foxes have played 5, won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2, and although that won't read well to most, it is a far from shambolic start given they were expected to be a force in League One 2026-2027.
-
Key players:
- Sammy Braybrooke has been Leicester's creator in chief with 1 assist in 2 league games.
- Jayden Joseph has been their key goal threat with 1 in 1 so far.
Head-to-Head
The 3-0 away win over MK Dons in the League Cup 2022/2023 gives the Foxes the edge in the head-to-head record between these two sides, but Leicester are coming into this game as 2.1 favourites against the 3.15 that is on MK Dons with the draw 3.65 .
Prediction
Leicester likely winners, but MK Dons won’t make things easy.
