HEREFORD United will be looking to bring to an end their dismal sequence of four away defeats when they travel to Milton Keynes on Saturday to take on MK Dons in League 2.

The Bulls will expect to be at full strength with the only doubt over Martyn Giles who had to leave the field during last Saturday's home draw with Darlington to have three stitches in a head wound.

United will welcome back on-loan John Eustace, who was rested for the midweek Johnstone's Paints Trophy defeat by Shrewsbury Town.

Midfielder Eustace, 26, who is with the Bulls from Stoke City for a month, made an immediate impact on his debut against Darlington with some high quality passing.

"MK Dons will provide a nice challenge for us," said director of football Graham Turner. "But it is a concern that we are not getting anything from games where we should be picking up points."

Next Tuesday, United begin their defence of the HFA Senior Floodlit Invitation Cup when they travel to Bromyard Town for a first round tie.

The outing is likely to offer the chance of a competitive match to some of the players who have not been regular selections in the first team.
