MK Dons face QPR tomorrow desperate for a positive result to lift them away from the relegation zone.

Before Saturday`s game against Blackburn, and indeed the final few minutes of that fixture, the Dons had reason to be positive. Six points ahead of the bottom three before kick-off, a last minute Blackburn equaliser and a Rotherham victory mean the Dons could slip into 22nd place tomorrow.

Alex Revell came from the bench at Blackburn to score his second goal for the Dons, and with Emmanuel-Thomas unable to play against his parent club, will likely start upfront.

The game will come too soon for Carl Baker although David Martin could return in goal. The likes of Murphy and Hall will be eager to regain their positions on the wings after Williams, Bowditch and Carruthers got the nod against Blackburn.

For reasons both on the pitch and in the stands, Dons fans will be eager to forget the 3-0 loss in the return fixture back in October. They may be buoyed however by better memories of this fixture, such as the memorable 4-2 victory in the F.A. Cup.

QPR have had mixed results of late, and sit 11 points off the play-offs in 11th, but did win their last game 2-0 against promotion hopefuls Birmingham and could name an unchanged line-up.

If we are going to get a result however, attention to the last kick of the game will be needed to avoid conceding in the last minute yet again.
