AFC Wimbledon face Oxford United – again – in EFL Trophy tie

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

AFC Wimbledon will face Oxford United in the last four of the EFL Trophy – with the tie set for February 2 (7pm).

It will be the third time that the South London club have travelled to the Kassam Stadium as the two clubs were also paired together in the EFL Cup.

Wimbledon lost 4-3 on penalties in early September and suffered a 2-0 loss in the League One fixture on Boxing Day despite creating a glut of chances.

Glyn Hodges’ side have not conceded in the previous two rounds of the EFL Trophy.

Jack Rudoni’s 61st-minute goal earned a 1-0 victory at Bristol Rovers in the previous round earlier this month.

Ryan Longman, Paul Osew and Joe Pigott were all on the scoresheet in a 3-0 win over Arsenal U21s in early December.

The other ties see Tranmere at home to Peterborough United, Sunderland travel to Milton Keynes and Hull City welcome Lincoln City.
