Norwich City vs Milton Keynes Dons prediction

Milton Keynes Dons were promoted back to League One last season following heavy investment in the playing staff and they could be dark horses for a promotion push again in the third tier. This serves as a good opportunity for them to make a statement against Norwich City. The Canaries are preparing for what will hopefully be a promotion chase of their own under Philippe Clement but it remains to be seen how important they see the League Cup.

If Norwich are not at their best, or slightly rusty on the pitch, MK Dons are more than capable of taking advantage and boast the attacking weapons to hurt the hosts on the opposite end of the pitch. When looking across the first round, this is one of those fixtures that has possible upset written all over it, so explore utilising the double chance market here.
