Cobblers to face either Luton Town or Plymouth Argyle in Vertu Trophy semi-finals

Town will travel to one of their League One counterparts in the Vertu Trophy semi-finals following Thursday’s draw, which took place live on Sky Sports.

Luton were reinstated into the competition following Swindon’s expulsion. The Robins won at Kenilworth Road in the round of 16 but were later found guilty of fielding two ineligible players, and therefore it is the Hatters who will host Plymouth on February 24th for the chance to host Northampton next month.

Cobblers have played Luton and Plymouth once each this season, losing 1-0 to Jack Wilshere’s side at Sixfields before winning 3-0 at Home Park in December. Luton are currently in the fringes of the play-offs in League One in seventh, while Plymouth have recovered from a poor start to the season to sit 16th.

The other last four tie sees Stockport go to Doncaster. Ties are scheduled take place in the week commencing March 2nd.
