MK Dons manager Karl Robinson has hinted at a recall for Luke Chadwick ahead of the visit of Bristol City. Chadwick has not started a game since the opening day of the season but the experienced former Manchester United winger is expected to return to the team on Saturday. Ben Reeves will not feature due to an injury which forced him out of the starting XI last weekend. The midfielder, who played at left-back in the home win over Crewe, was deemed fit enough for the bench at Preston but he will miss the Robins game. Captain Dean Lewington (knee) and forwards Dean Bowditch (groin) and Daniel Powell (ankle) will remain on the sidelines. Lewington, whose troublesome injury has limited him to just one appearance this season, took part in light training on Thursday but the League One fixture will come too soon for him to be considered. Bristol City head coach Sean O'Driscoll has no fresh injury worries as his side tackle MK Dons looking for their first league win of the season. The Robins lost 2-1 to Wolves last weekend to extend their winless run in this division to three games but O'Driscoll's preparations have been helped by the lack of new fitness concerns. Louis Carey is back in training once more after recovering from his dead leg and Sam Baldock looks set to start against his former employees. Defenders Nicky Shorey and James O'Connor continue to train with the club but both will not be involved at Stadium:MK. View from the BBC MK Dons defender Dean Lewington (knee) has trained but remains a major doubt, while Dean Bowditch has hit a setback in his recovery from a groin injury. Daniel Powell is still out with an ankle problem, while Ben Reeves will not be fit enough to fetaure. Bristol City are set to name an unchanged squad as they look for their first League One win of the season. Louis Carey is nearing a return from a leg injury but the game will come too soon for the veteran defender. VIEWS FROM THE TRAINING GROUND MK Dons manager Karl Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio: "They [Bristol City] got the best strikers in the league - Marlon Harewood, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and of course [former MK Dons player] Sam Baldock. "They also have a wonderful manager [Sean O'Driscoll] who worked wonders at Doncaster. "I wish Sam was wearing white on Saturday. I still speak to him regularly. If he stays fit, Bristol City will be challenging. I'm asking the fans to give him a tremendous ovation before the game." Bristol City captain Sam Baldock on facing MK Dons midfielder and younger brother George: "I've not played a competitive match against him and he's really excited about it. "He's already told me he's not going to pull any punches. He'll give 100% into every tackle on me. "That sibling rivalry does run high but we're really good friends as well so it will be good fun."

Got a good feeling about this un Our season starts today......... Hopefully COYR I'll keep everyone up to date during the match, If you're unable to listen in Twitter and BBC is useless for updates and there not consistent enough
I think this will be a hard game, a win great but I'll be happy with a point, I'll try and stay with you shiny.....
You can be my Andy Gray.... Or gary Neville up to you? I think I would settle for a point now wiz, But have a really good feeling this is where we will turn our season around Sammy Baldock to score on his return to MK? Well that's how it would be written anyway.
