MK Dons News and Form – Big night for the Dons, but is a win out of the question?
The MK Dons will host Liverpool for the first time. This is going to be a special occasion for them. They are sitting down in the bottom half of League One currently having taken a W4 L5 record. They have suffered back-to-back 1-0 losses in the league. While this is a fantastic occasion for the home support, it’s not likely going to do their hopes of a deep cup run any favours.
The MK Dons have lost three of their four home games this season (all in the league) without having scored a goal. They banked a penalty shootout win away at Wimbledon in the first round of the League Cup. They then landed a 4-1 success away at Southend. The Dons have lost their last two home games in the competition, both against Premier League opposition. That was Southampton in 2015 and a 4-1 loss against Swansea in 2017.

Liverpool News and Form – Reds to romp to victory at MK Dons?
Liverpool just keeps rolling on in the Premier League. They made it six wins from six this season with a nervy 2-1 win at Chelsea. It wasn’t a good performance from them. The only game that Liverpool have lost this season was a Champions League fixture at Napoli recently. Naturally, the League Cup isn’t going to be a huge priority for the Reds. They want the Premier League title and the Champions League defence.
Liverpool have lost their last four games in the League Cup, putting just the one goal on the board in that sequence. In last season’s competition, they lost against Chelsea in the third round. Liverpool have lost at Southampton and Leicester in their last two away games in the League Cup.

MK Dons v Liverpool Predictions
Liverpool to win: It is pretty hard to find a reason to not back the Reds, even if they don’t go full strength at this one, which they probably won’t. The last two home games for the MK Dons against Premier League opposition in the competition have gone badly. It should be fairly routine for Liverpool at the end of the day.
