Academy Director Mike Dove says concentration will be the key for his Under 18 side when they travel to Leicester City in the FA Youth Cup on Saturday (kick-off 12.00pm).

Dove's fledglings face the Foxes at the Walkers Stadium in the second round, where both sides will battle for the right to host Wolverhampton Wanderers in round three.

Mike will have a full squad at his disposal with skipper David King back from injury and Daniel Powell returning to the Under 18 fold following his goalscoring appearance for the first team at Hartlepool.

But they will be severely tested by a Leicester - an Academy filled with talent and famous for the standard of players it has produced over the years.

Mike said: "The Youth Cup is like the senior FA Cup - it's a bit different, anything can happen.

"Saturday's game will be on a big pitch against a team that will be very confident, very strong and well organised.

"One of the things we have spoken a lot about is recognising where you are in the context of a particular game. Concentration, composure and patience are vital and if we can hold our own early-on and get ourselves into it, we'll have a chance.

"Playing in a big stadium will be a bit of a different experience for the boys, just as it has been for those of them that have played at stadiummk.

"We might have to absorb a bit of pressure in the early part of the game and work our way into it."

Tickets for the game are priced £3.00 for adults and £1.00 for Concessions, with some Dons fans expected to make the trip to the Walkers Stadium before darting over to Walsall to see the first team in action.

Squad to travel: Hayden Carter, Adam Chicksen, Charlie Collins, Igor Coronado, Daniel Delderfield, Justin Dowling, Josh England, Troy Farden, Tom Flanagan, Kurt Fox, Ashley Harrison, David King, Harry Milton, Daniel Powell, Martel Powell, George Williams.
