I think he will put out a strong team, stronger than we might imagine, although I do think two or three coming back from injury will get a game

i do too Tony...we need to get the match time for the big one on Tuesday

No injuries please. Hope MKD try to play a bit of football and their not kickers, like the mob from Lincoln were !

With Man utd on Tuesday, I would select the 3 returning from injury, leave out Pope Lowton Tarky Mee and Brownhill

I definitely wouldn't risk any of the holy trinity, and Brownhill will benefit from a short break, agree the returning players need minutes so Cork, JBG & Vydra all start for me.

I wouldn't take a chance on Charlie, Dwight or Jay Rod, all 3 are too important for our PL campaign to gamble with.

Assuming Sean is expecting us to bring in a couple of decent players during this window, I don't think he'll take any chances today, so I'm expecting quite a strong team. It's our first chance of a decent cup run for a while, so I hope we don't throw it away.

I think that there is a good chance that both Cork and Gudders will start, and probably Vydra up front. Pope will probably be rested as well but the rest will be much the same as usual hopefully.

Charlie, I doubt will be fit enough. Jay, on the other hand, is currently behind Wood and Barnes so less of a risk. If McNeil is fit, he'll need some minutes prior to Tuesday.

Charlie, Dwight & Jay Rod are all confirmed as being out injured.

Dwight's injury is lasting longer than I thought. Unless injured includes Covid positive.

Looking forward to a bit of football today. Would think BPF, Long, Dunne, Cork, Stephens, Vydra, JBG will be given a run out today if Covid free! Interested to see how we line up.

No - they are the injuries sustained in the games against Wolves (Dwight), Leeds (Jay) & Sheff U (Charlie).

I think some of those players will but I do expect us to go quite strong with the line up.

Maybe Tarks/Mee for Dunne but would expect Long to play?

Glad to see the official match day thread - feel more confident now UTC !!

Strong line-up. Good.

JBG starts. So too Cork.

We'll see

Surprised he's gone as strong as he has. Interested to see how Norris performs.

from BBC:

Burnley midfielder Jack Cork could make his first appearance of the season in Saturday's FA Cup tie against MK Dons.

He has recovered from an ankle injury, while winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson and forward Matej Vydra are fit again and are in contention to play.

MK Dons have six players missing including forwards Kieran Agard and Jay Bird and midfielder David Kasumu.

Matthew Sorinola and Stephen Walker, both sidelined with illnesses, and George Williams all return.

Match stats
Burnley have won all four of their meetings with MK Dons in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and conceding three. This is the first game between the sides since a 5-0 away win for the Clarets in the Championship in January 2016.
MK Dons have lost three of their five FA Cup matches against Premier League opponents (W1 D1), including a 1-2 third round loss against Burnley in 2010.
Burnley have won nine of their last 11 FA Cup matches against sides from a lower division, losing against Reading in January 2010 and Lincoln in February 2017 in this run.
MK Dons are looking to reach the FA Cup fourth round for just the fourth time in their short history, last doing so in the 2017-18 campaign.

Decent line up. We're gonna win the cup!

Chorley have beaten Derby 2-0.

Admittedly an under strength Derby because of Covid, but even so. Wow, Chorley in the 4th round.
