Time and date confirmed for Northampton's Vertu Trophy tie against AFC Wimbledon

Cobblers were paired with their League One counterparts in Saturday’s last eight draw, which took place live on Sky Sports, and the EFL have now confirmed that the tie at Plough Lane will take place on Tuesday, February 10th (7pm kick-off).

That adds another midweek fixture to an already congested schedule and means Cobblers will now play on five successive Tuesdays – and that’ll become six if they reach the last four of the EFL Trophy by beating Wimbledon next month, which would represent the club’s best ever run in the competition.

Ticket details for the quarter-final tie will be confirmed in due course.
