Dons manager Paul Ince has no fresh injury concerns as his side prepare to take on familiar opponents Southampton at stadiummk this weekend.

The Dons host the Saints in the fourth meeting between the two teams this term and will be looking for their first win over Alan Pardew's side.

In a season that has seen him squad constantly hit by injuries, Ince was able to take the unprecedented step of naming the same team for a third consecutive game at Brentford last week.

And the consistency in team selection has had a positive impact on results, with the Dons taking seven points from the potential nine on offer.

Irishman Stephen Gleeson's return from an ankle injury gives Ince a decision to make in midfield, where Peter Leven, Mark Carrington and on-loan Arsenal starlet Mark Randall have performed impressively of late.

And young striker Sam Baldock could create a similar dilemma in attack should he manage to recover from a knee injury in time.

This will be the fourth occasion the Dons and the Saints have met this season.

Sean O'Hanlon and Mathias Doumbe, while named among the substitutes in the last two games, may still be some time away for full-match readiness, meaning James Tunnicliffe should continue at the heart of the defence alongside David McCracken.

Southampton boss Alan Pardew looks likely to be without full-back Jon Otsemebor and on-loan Reading winger Michail Antonio for the trip to stadiummk.

Otsemebor missed the midweek defeat to Swindon with an ankle injury while Antonio, matchwinner in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Area Final first leg at stadiummk in January, looks like missing out with a knock.

Former Dons playmaker Jason Puncheon is likely to call the Saints tune from midfield on his first return to stadiummk since joining the Saints in January. Puncheon was on loan with the Dons from Championship side Plymouth, who chose to cash in on the Londoner's considerable talents when the Saints came knocking in the transfer window.

Midfielder Lloyd James and veteran striker David Connolly are also available after coming through the Swindon game unscathed. James had been suffering from an ankle knock while Connolly had been sidelined with groin trouble.
