Town travel to Milton Keynes tomorrow night for the first round of the Carling Cup.

Town manager Jim Magilton has no new injuries worries ahead of the game so he has named the same 18 man squad for tomorrow night as he did for the league season opener against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

Town Squad: Alexander, Bruce, Clarke, Counago, De Vos, Garvan, Harding, Haynes, Lee, Legwinski, O'Callaghan, Miller, Peters, Roberts, Supple, Walters, Wilnis, Wright.

Town manager Jim Magilton: "They have the ambition and drive to make their mark this year and everything is in place. They have a forward-thinking chairman and a new manager.

"They had a blip on Saturday and Ipswich Town going there will be a scalp for them. There will be a few strange results in the Carling Cup this week and I just hope we are not one of them.

"I always enjoyed playing against quality midfielders and Paul was one of those. He and I are new managers and I look forward to locking horns with him.

"He did a good job in keeping Macclesfield in the division last year and this is a step up for him.

"We watched the pre-season and they looked very good and he has squad that can make a mark in League One this year.

"I am in no doubt and the players will be in no doubt that this is will be a real tough game."

Former Town defender Drissa Diallo will miss the game because of a suspension.

Mk Dons: 5/2
Draw: 12/5
Town: 5/6
