Fairclough looks for double over the Dons

Tomorrow, the Bees entertain MK Dons, who like Barnet have struggled in the league of late, taking only 6 points from 7 matches and seeing an 11 point lead dwindle to 2. Meanwhile, Barnet are looking to stop a run of 4 successive defeats which has seen them slide down to 18^th.

MK Dons are managed by former Manchester United and England player, Paul Ince who started his managerial career last season at fellow League Two side, Macclesfield Town, turning their season around after a dreadful start and assuring the club their league place. In the summer he replaced former Barnet manager, Martin Allen, at MK Dons.

The Dons are League Two leaders this season with 63 points from 32 matches, 2 points ahead of 2^nd placed Hereford, though the Bulls have a game in hand. The Dons won the 1^st leg of the Southern area final of the JPT beating Swansea City away, 1-0 with a goal from Jemal Johnson.

Earlier this year, the Bees won 1-0 away at Milton Keynes with a goal from Ismail Yakubu. Last season the match at Underhill, in September, ended in a 3-3 draw after the Bees had led 3-1 early in the 2^nd half. Barnet goals came from Ian Hendon, Richard Graham and Tresor Kandol. The return match in January ended in a 3-1 win for MK Dons. Simon King scored for Barnet who had both Ian Hendon and Dean Sinclair sent off in controversial circumstances.

The Dons will be without top scorer, Mark Wright who has a hamstring injury and striker, Aaron Wilbraham who is out with a knee injury. Gareth Edds is also out with an ankle injury. Barnet have a slight doubt about Jason Puncheon, but he is expected to be fit to play against his old side. Neil Bishop misses the match through suspension after receiving 5 yellow cards, so Michael Leary is set to deputise. Kieron St. Amie will have a late test on his ankle.

Now let's look at the MK Dons squad.
