Pompey are on their travels again this Saturday as they face the MK Dons. Pompey will be buoyed by an impressive win away at Yeovil on Tuesday night. The Dons have started the season well and Michael Appleton knows his side are in for a tough test.
Team news
Luke Rodgers returned to training on Thursday and is likely to start on the bench, with Wes Thomas leading the line with former MK Dons hitman Izale McLeod.
New signing Akos Buzsaky didn’t feature in the win at Yeovil but may pick up some game time in this fixture after completing a week of training with his new team mates.
MK Dons will give a late test to striker Ryan Lowe who has suffered with a virus.

Pompey could well face a former player after Scott Allan joined Karl Robinson’s side earlier this month.
