MK Dons v Crawley Town team news: Five Reds players make first starts of the season for Jersey Mikes Trophy tie
Crawley Town take a break from league action tonight as they travel to MK Dons for their first Jersey Mikes Trophy group game.
Reds will will be looking for a morale-boosting win after they dropped to bottom of the League Two table after being beating 2-0 by Grimsby Town on Saturday.
MK Dons are 22nd in League One following their promotion last season. They have yet to record a league win but have drawn six of their seven games so far.
Former Crawley managers have used this competition to give fringe players minutes and Colin Kazim-Richards is no different.
Justin Ferizaj, Lewis Richards, Pele Arganese-McDermott, Jude Robertson and Nathan Tinsdale all make their first starts for Reds this season while Jackson Izquierdo starts between the sticks.
Charlie Barker, Louie Watson, Gianmarco Di Biase, Akin Odimayo and Klaudio Kraniqi make up the rest of the starting XI.
There are nine changes to the MK Dons side this evening but it remains a very strong side from Paul Warne. Only Dennis and Campbell keep their places from the draw with AFC Wimbledon last week.
MK Dons: Dennis, Campbell, Ekpiteta, Sanders, Wiles, Jones, Fullah, Barlaser, Matete, Silvera, Hepburn-Murphy
