Hereford United are fourth in League Two but are yet to play several of the top teams and if the Bulls are going to continue their good form with a small squad they will need few injuries or suspensions.
"We are going to need luck with injuries," manager Graham Turner told the Worcester News.
"The next three games - MK Dons, Peterborough and Darlington - will test our resolve and attributes.
"You can't take any notice of the table after the first five games but when you move into double figures then it starts to reflect a true picture.
"These games are what being in this league are about. They are very good sides."
Turner noted that MK Dons manager Paul Ince has a massive budget compared with that available at Edgar Street.
"They are top because they are the best team in the division.
"You can't take any notice of the table after the first five games but when you move into double figures then it starts to reflect a true picture.
"They have won their last eight games but I think this will be a great match for my players and the supporters.
"It is a big challenge, they have an expensive and experienced squad."
