Three in a row?

MK Dons v Carlisle

Carlisle are chasing a third successive win when they travel to MK Dons' stadium:mk on Saturday afternoon.

A victory over Portsmouth made amends for a poor defeat against Tranmere with that win followed up with a midweek win over Ipswich in the league cup, although MK Dons also knocked out a Championship opponent in the form of Blackburn.

Danny Livesey (hamstring) is out for Carlisle, and could be out for up to a month. Lee Miller (ankle) remains sidelined along with Rory Loy (broken leg).

The visitors can call on the services of on loan Birmingham striker Jake Jervis again though after he was ineligible for the Capital One Cup tie on Tuesday.

Stephen Gleeson returned from suspension in midweek form MK Dons and was handed the captains armband, something he is expected to retain with Dean Lewington (suspension) again missing out. Alan Smith (suspension) is still out but Antony Kay (suspension) is free to return.

Mathias Kouo-Doumbe (knee) is fit again but isn't expect to feature as he's not fit enough nor is new signing Jimmy Bullard, he will be in the squad but will almost certainly be on the bench.
