While the Dons are preparing for a trip to the home of the national team, the national team are preparing for a trip to the home of the Dons as England Under 19s get set for their stadiummk bow.
Football has never been hotter in the new city, with supporters looking set to turn out in force at Wembley for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final against Grimsby Town on March 30.
And five days before, on March 25, the country's best young talent will descend on stadiummk to make it a fantastic footballing double-header for the city.
Following the success of the sold-out England Under 21 International at stadiummk in October, the home of the Dons will be swimming with national pride again as the likes of Manchester City sensation Daniel Sturridge and Chelsea's Scott Sinclair look to shine.
The England senior team may have missed out on this year's European Championships but the U19s are still in the hunt for a place at their own Euro tournament this summer.
Led by head coach Brian Eastick, the young lions will need to top a group that includes Belarus, Poland and Serbia if they're to qualify for the July showcase in the Czech Rep.
The likes of Wayne Rooney and Stewart Downing have all been capped at U19 level and Eastick is hoping that his current young charges can finish off their warm-up preparations in style: "We're unbeaten in five games on home soil this season so it would be nice to make it six at Milton Keynes before leaving for the Euro qualifying round in Eastern Europe."
England U19s have also been banging home the goals with thumping wins over the likes of Belarus, Romania and Iceland this term but Eastick is wary of the Russian challenge: "They're a decent side with exactly the same aspirations as us - to make this summer's finals in the Czech Republic.
"It's going to be a big test but I'm confident that we've got the players to keep our unbeaten home run intact."
Ground admission costs just £3.00 for adults in advance (£5.00 on the day) and £1.00 for concessions.
