MK Dons vs Leicester City – Leicester City will play League One side MK Dons on Tuesday night in an attempt to advance to the EFL Cup quarterfinals.
To reach this stage of the competition, the Foxes defeated Stockport County and Newport County, while MK Dons defeated Sutton United, Watford, and Morecambe.
Unlike Leicester, MK Dons have not taken a break in their season to prepare for the World Cup, thus the home team will be in superior shape in terms of match rhythm going into this encounter.
MK Dons vs Leicester City – Betting Analysis
Following a dismal start to the season, Liam Manning was fired as head coach on December 11, and long-serving defender Dean Lewington is now in charge on an interim basis.
Lewington has been in charge for two games: the 4-1 loss to Bristol Rovers on December 13 and the 2-0 league victory over Portsmouth on Saturday. MK Dons are currently 22nd in League One, having collected only 18 points from their first 21 games of the season.
However, the Dons have been in good form in the EFL Cup this season, winning without conceding a goal against Sutton, Watford, and Morecambe, and they will now be seeking to take a Premier League scalp in the form of Leicester.
Leicester, meanwhile, had to win twice to advance to this round of the EFL Cup, defeating Stockport on penalties before defeating Newport County 3-0 last time out.
Brendan Rodgers’ side has not competed since a 2-0 win against West Ham United in the Premier League on November 12, which pushed them to 13th place in the table.
There is no denying that the Foxes have had a difficult season thus far, but they won their three matches prior to the World Cup break, which included a league victory at Everton.
