    Bristol City vs Wimbledon: spotlight on AFC Wimbledon.

    WIMBLEDON boss Neil Ardley is ready to unleash the beast as he pits the so-called "world's strongest player" against League One leaders Bristol City at Ashton Gate tonight.

    Much-travelled striker Adebayo Akinfenwa may be a figure of fun among football fans the length and breadth of this country, but he represents a real and present danger to City's ambitions of going all the way in this season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy competition.

    Although League Two minnows Wimbledon will start as massive underdogs against the Football League's last remaining unbeaten side, the presence up front of a 17 stone goalscoring battering ram means it would be foolish to rule out an upset.

    Akinfenwa has already scored eight times since joining the Dons on a free transfer from Gillingham in the summer and, after scoring twice against Bury recently, he claimed: "I feel like I've got my mojo back!"

    In a clear warning to City's defenders, he added: "When I'm in form, there are not many defenders that can handle me. When I'm not on it, I look cumbersome. But when I'm on it, there's not much they can do."

    Standing at 6ft 1in, the 32-year-old Londoner was recently named the strongest player in the world on the new FIFA 15 game and Dons boss Ardley is delighted to have him on board.

    He warned: "Anyone that tries to play one-on-one with him is going to come off second best. He's unplayable. I've said before that he is one of the best headers of a ball I've worked with and I'm delighted I've got him.

    "What doesn't he bring to the team? He is the point of the attack, he holds the ball up, he's clever and he brings people into play – and if you get a chance to put a cross in ten there's always a chance he'll score."

    Frankie Sutherland and Ade Azeez could feature in the starting line-up again after impressing in Saturday's 1-1 FA Cup first-round draw at York City. But experienced full-back Andy Frampton is likely to be ruled out.

    It looks as though Flint has got a problem tonight..

    I've seen him playing for Gillingham. He is a tank and players bounce of him. However he'll be out of breath after 60 minutes.

    Surprised that Osbourne isn't being played and that there is no Agard. We're looking too flat at the moment.

    Smith plays it to Wilbraham who advances to the edge of the box before firing past Shea. Great finish for his 11th goal of the season

    Francomb's low drive from 25 yards out crashes off the inside of the post and into the back of the net.
