MK Dons play in the League Two of England and so far things are not too good, but not too bad. The club is in the middle of the standings. The team can still fight for promotion, so they are unlikely to throw all their efforts into this tournament. This was evident from the first round of the cup, when the team lost away to equal rival Colchester.
Arsenal Under 21 have no special tasks for the season. Especially for many players the main task is to show themselves brightly and draw the attention of Arteta. In the first round away team unexpectedly beat Leyton Orient, so retains all chances to compete for the playoffs in case of victory.
