MK Dons v Gillingham
Sky Bet League Two
Stadium MK
Saturday October 4, 2025
Kick-Off, 12.30pm
Team News:
Saturday’s fixture will likely come to soon for Euan Williams as he continues to work on his fitness after a shoulder injury that he suffered during pre-season. Conor Masterson remains out with a calf problem.
Armani Little is a doubt, as is Bradley Dack.
Gethin Jones, Aaron Collins and Kane Wilson all remain out for Milton Keynes with long-term injuries. Saturday’s fixture could come too soon for Nathan Thompson and Joe Tomlinson.
Luke Offord and Jon Mellish are pushing to be involved in the starting XI as they return from suspension.
Manager Comments:
Paul Warne: “Getting players back is a great feeling. We’ve got Jack [Sanders] running on the side of the pitch, Kane [Thompson-Sommers] was at it and he looks close to bang on it, Nathan [Thompson] is back in, Joe [Tomlinson] is back in having trained and potentially back available for the squad, and we’ve got Jon Mellish and Luke Offord available for selection again.
"It seems a long time since that’s been the case.”
Richard Dobson: [On Paul Warne] - “He’s a top manager, they have got good players, and we know that this is a tough test. Just as they are a good side, we are a good side too.”
Previous Meetings:
Gillingham lead the head-to-head in all competitions, with 11 victories to 10. The fixture has also seen five draws.
Our most recent visit to Stadium MK saw us come away with all three points. Robbie McKenzie scored the only goal of the game just short of the hour. Aaron Rowe’s lofted pass towards the penalty area dropped to McKenzie, who did well to get the ball out of his feet before getting a left-footed strike away.
His low drive was a central one, which went through the legs of Tom McGill before crossing the line.
Milton Keynes nearly found a late equaliser, but were denied by the heroics of Glenn Morris, who did brilliantly to claw the ball away from Ellis Harrison's path before Gills cleared their lines.
