Opposition Manager : Graham Alexander
The 51-year-old has plenty of experience as a manager as well as a player, where he made over 800 professional appearances.
Alexander won promotion with Fleetwood Town via the playoffs to League One in 2012/13
A two year spell at Scunthorpe United was followed with a spell at Salford City where he managed to get the club promoted to the EFL for the first time in the Ammies history.
He also has had a 18-month spell in Scotland with Motherwell where he managed to guide the club to Europa Conference League qualification.
One to watch : Mohamed Eisa
Eisa has already netted 5 times for MK so far this season and one the Saddlers defence will need to try and keep quiet.
The 29-year old has plenty of EFL playing for teams such as Bristol City and Peterborough.
Score prediction : Walsall 2-1 MK Dons
Walsall will be going into this midweek clash full of confidence after a quality performance and result away at Bradford. It’s important to continue this type of performance into Tuesday night to try and build some momentum now.
MK Dons are on poor form as they are without a win in 5 games. However they have some quality players going forward and they are in need of a good result to end their bad form.
Hopefully Sadler can stick with the same formation and starting eleven going into Tuesday night. Let’s get at them early on and hopefully another three points. UTS!
