EFL badge - Link to home

Robbie Neilson makes his Sky Bet League One managerial bow this weekend, getting Matchday 21 started in a 1pm kick-off at stadiummk.

The new Milton Keynes Dons boss' first task is a maiden EFL meeting with AFC Wimbledon, and the struggling hosts are still seeking a first home triumph this season.

Table-topping Scunthorpe United visit Rochdale, while chasers Sheffield United and Bradford City – who are third and fourth respectively – are both at home, to Swindon Town and Charlton Athletic.

Shrewsbury Town, Oldham Athletic, Chesterfield and Coventry City make up the bottom four, and they all face tests on the road, while the action will be wrapped up on Monday night when second-placed Bolton Wanderers take on Gillingham as part of Sky Sports' #10in10 coverage.

Five facts

1. The last time Bradford and Charlton met was in 2000/01, when the clubs were in the top flight. The host of the fixture won 2-0 on both occasions, and current Bantams boss Stuart McCall played in both.

2. Fleetwood are yet to get the better of Walsall in seven previous meetings. The Saddlers have won six of those, including all four EFL encounters.

3. Rochdale and Scunthorpe is the most common fixture on the Matchday 21 schedule. There have been 96 meetings since the first in 1931, and Dale lead the head-to-head 39-33, with 24 games finishing all-square.

4. Shrewsbury's last success against Millwall came in 1976, with 11 fixtures taking place since. The Lions have won eight of those, including all six at the Den.

5. Southend and Coventry are tied at 18 wins apiece, with 12 draws, ahead of this weekend's 49th meeting. There are usually goals too - the last 13 games have produced 51 goals at just under four per game.
