Dons manager Paul Ince keeps faith with young striker Sam Baldock for Saturday's crunch clash at second-placed Charlton.

Having scored twice against Northampton in midweek, Baldock is given the nod to partner Aaron Wilbraham up front at The Valley in a Dons side showing two changes from the win over the Cobblers.

Mathias Doumbe comes back into the side, replacing Luke Howell at right-back, while Peter Leven returns to replace Mark Carrington in central midfield alongside Jason Puncheon.

Sol Davis continues to deputise for the suspended Dean Lewington at left-back, with Wilbraham pulling on the skipper's armband in Lewington's absence.

Charlton boss Phil Parkinson makes five changes from the side that lost to Southampton in midweek as the Addicks look to end a run of three straight defeats.

Fraser Richardson passes a late fitness test to replace Grant Basey at right-back while former Dons defender Miguel Llera is replaced by Sam Sodje. Nicky Bailey and Therry Racon come into midfield in place of Matt Spring and Jonjo Shelvey and Deon Burton returns up front in place of Scott Wagstaff.
