Walsall forward Jamille Matt gave it a go but it's not to be today.

He's not able to play on and walks off the field, hugely disappointed, to be replaced with Danny Johnson.

Decent spell of possession ends with AFC Wimbledon's Ryan Johnson's intriguing looking cross in but it is slightly overhit and goes out for a goal-kick.

AFC Wimbledon's fans behind that goal are sensing something is coming though and respond in great voice.

Michael Duff has a headache. Ben Wiles is down on the deck with the midfielder getting some treatment after seemingly getting clattered in the act of getting a shot off.

He's up on his feet and limping off under his own steam, but the game will resume without him. A decision to make for Duff...

End-to-end stuff as Dion Charles sees a shot deflected past the upright at one end before Bolton break from the resultant corner, with Aaron Collins producing a lung-busting run down the right channel under immense pressure, barging his way into the area and eventually running out of real estate near the byline, unable to get a shot away to test Jacob Chapman from an angle.

The Bantams are really turning up the heat on the league leaders.

Of their four shots, three have been on target and one has found the net.

Walsall, on the other hand, have registered three but none heading in the direction of the net.

It could get even more worrying for the Saddlers, with forward Jamille Matt receiving treatment and looking in some pain.

Walsall are trying to get a foothold in the game but it's not quite happening for them.

It's not quite clicking in the final third.

Bradford are good in possession while the Saddlers have not settled into the game yet.

A good ball in from MK Dons' Luke Offord finds the head of captain Alex Gilbey but his header is deflected over the bar for the corner.

Then, moments later, MK Dons midfielder Jay Williams is booked for a robust tackle on Josh Kelley.

Williams looked like he won man and ball but in 2025, we know that doesn't fly, and referee Craig Hicks correctly brandishes the first yellow card of the game.

Another ball in from the Cambridge left causes a spot of bother in the Mansfield area but despite being found in space at the far post by Josh Stokes, and having already scored once, Michael Morrison tries to whip a cross back across goal with his left foot, which evades everyone, when a shot towards the near post might have been a better bet.

A first sight of goal for Dion Charles, whose eight League One goals this season have come for Bolton, but who is awaiting his first for Huddersfield.

An off-balance George Johnston struggles to clear his lines and pokes the ball straight to his former teammate on the edge of the box but Charles can only lash a first-time effort over Luke Southwood's crossbar.

The game's gone into a little bit of a lull at the moment following MK Dons' strong start.

The visitors have kept the ball better in the last five minutes or so without their attacking trio really clicking into gear, just yet anyway.

What a start this has been from the home side. You'd never know they had won just one of their past 13.

Elias Kachunga does well to send Josh Stokes clear on the break but the youngster can't quite get enough on his return ball into the middle back towards his teammate, allowing Aden Flint to recover.

A let-off for the visitors though.

Big players is what will be required today for the big moments.

An absolutely thunderous finish from Antoni Sarcevic.

It's a fantastic goal.

Oh, Luke Offord should have made it 1-0 to the hosts.

MK Dons win a corner, which they take short quickly and an excellent centre finds the big defender but from six yards out, he can only head over the bar.

More good stuff from Bolton as Klaidi Lolos drifts in from the left and fires in a swerving right-footed effort which Jacob Chapman beats away to his left.

You wouldn't know which time are in imperious form and which are winless in three from the opening 15 minutes.

MK Dons' Aaron Nemane is causing some real problems for AFC Wimbledon on the right hand side and his accurate pick out finds Alex Gilbey but he can only head straight into the grateful gloves of Owen Goodman.

It's almost all Walsall in these early stages but it's the hosts who have the most dangerous chance.

The ball plays ping-pong around the Walsall box until it finds its way to midfielder Alex Pattison.

He unleashes not once but twice, denied by the Walsall keeper then by a defender.

Bolton building up a head of steam as Aaron Collins meets a cross from the right with a flashing header which Jacob Chapman tips over with a flying fingertip - the flag does go up, meaning it wouldn't have counted.

After the restart Victor Adebojeyo wriggles some space on the right of the Terriers box but can only drag his low effort across the face of Chapman's goal.

That definitely would have counted...

Pretty quiet opening eight minutes in the glorious sunshine at the John Smith's Stadium.

The majority of the game has taken place in the middle third of the pitch, though a ball into the Terriers area did see Aaron Collins hit the deck, with Bolton appealing for a penalty in vain.

The visitors have calmed the early storm and have a corner of their own in front of their travelling support which is sent in by Josh Kelly but its cleared to safety by MK.
