Five stats...
We have only travelled to stadiummk on two previous occasions. Our most recent visit was on the way to League One promotion back in September 2009. Leeds, without striker Luciano Becchio, handed Mike Grella a start in attack and had to wait until stoppage time to win the game thanks to a Robert Snodgrass header.

The season before saw the demise of then manager Gary McAllister following a 3-1 defeat to Roberto Di Matteo’s MK Dons side. Leeds went into the game on 4 match losing streak and were 2-0 down inside 17 minutes. Snodgrass pulled on back, but the game ended 3-1 and McAllister was sacked the day later.

Remember Mansour Assoumani? The French-born defender made his one and only United appearance at stadiummk in December 2008's 3-1 defeat.

United have worn away colours on both visits to the MK Dons. In 2008/09 we wore the blue and black striped shirts, while the following season was all yellow.

Sol Bamba will become United's third different captain away at MK Dons. Rui Marques was captain in 2008/09 and Jonny Howson had the honour the following season.
