Wimbledon FC

NEIL SHIPPERLEY and Michael Hughes face their old club on Saturday as the Eagles are "away" to Wimbledon at Selhurst Park.

Wayne Routledge and Shaun Derry are serving bans after getting sent off against Burnley on the first day of the season.

Luckily for Kember, they are being replaced by Hughes and Hayden Mullins, who makes his first start of the season following suspension and a hernia op.

Kember said: "Thankfully, it is almost like two in, two out. What I want us to do now is continue with the good start we have made with three wins from our first three matches."

Kit Symons, Tony Popovic, Aki Riihilahti, Gareth Williams and Gary Borrowdale should be in contention after returning from midweek internationals.

Striker Scott McDonald has signed a month-to-month contract for the Dons and could replace Dean Holdsworth.

Jobi McAnuff, Darren Holloway and Lionel Morgan are all unlikely to play due to injury.
