Dons manager Paul Ince makes four changes to his side for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area Final second leg at Southampton, as the battle for a Wembley berth resumes at St Mary's.

Jude Stirling comes into defence in place of David McCracken, partnering makeshift centre-half Danny Woodards in central defence, while on-loan Arsenal midfielder Mark Randall comes in for the cup-tied Andros Townsend.

Luke Chadwick is passed fit to start out wide in place of the injured Sam Baldock while the suspended Jermaine Easter's place in attack is filled by Dean Morgan, who makes his first start in a Dons shirt since joining the Club in September.

There's a potentially huge story on the bench, where 40-year-old first team coach Alex Rae is named among the substitutes. The former Sunderland and Wolves midfielder has not played a competitive game since October 2007, but could have a role tonight to solve the Dons' injury crisis.

Southampton boss Alan Pardew is without former Don Jason Puncheon, Lee Barnard, Jon Otsemobor and Dan Seaborne, who are all cup tied, but does welcome back captain Dean Hammond from an ankle injury.
