Doncaster Rovers could move into the top half of the League Two for the first time this season with victory against AFC Wimbledon.

Rovers return to league action at the Cherry Red Records Stadium this afternoon.

Despite boasting League Two’s best away record, Wimbledon have picked up just six points at home this term.

But there are signs their home form could be improving.

The Dons have won their last two matches on home soil, beating League One side Cheltenham in the FA Cup last weekend before picking up another win against Crystal Palace's Under-21s in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy earlier this week.

Omar Bugiel and Connor Lemonheigh Evans have both gone into the book just moments apart for fouls the home fans clearly felt Doncaster were playing for. One of them saw Joseph Olowu leave the field with what could be a concussion.

Ben Close coming on

Joseph Olowu took a kick in the head clearing a cross and can't continue.

Brilliant from Tom Anderson

Last ditch stuff as he just beats Ali Al Hamadi to a cross that just needed a touch to take it into the back of the net.

Broadbent blazes over

First chance for Doncaster after Harrison Biggins charges down a clearance and steals the ball. Biggins crosses into the box for Broadbent to have a go but he fires the ball over the stand behind the goal.

More good defending from Doncaster

Tom Anderson charges down a Wimbledon player after Zain Westbrooke slips in possession and the hosts try and break.

Good clearance from Jack Senior

He gets across to block a cross into the box with a Wimbledon attacker in waiting.

Wimbledon's no 31 clearly loves himself

He's got his shorts rolled up to the top of his thighs despite the cold temperatures. And he's playing centre-half. Game's gone.

Wimbledon get us started

Sprinklers still spraying by one of the corner flags and we have a stoppage already!

Here come the teams
