Port Vale play host to Milton Keynes Dons FC at Vale Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Valiants are clearly on top, beating their opponents 3 times from 5 games.

The last time the two teams met at Port Vale was more than a decade ago, in September 1989, with Milton Keynes inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Valiants in a League Cup match.
