AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson says the League Two side will relish their trip to Stamford Bridge in Carabao Cup.

The Dons have been handed a plumb second-round draw against Chelsea after they came from behind to stun Championship side Coventry with a 2-1 win at Plough Lane.

Jackson said on Tuesday night: "It’s a great draw and reward for what the boys did tonight. We’ll get to go to a Premier League club and not just any Premier League club - a top side. "It is great for everyone involved with the Club - and I’m delighted. "The boys deserve this because of their efforts tonight. They’ve earned the opportunity, so we’ll go to the Bridge and give it a go."

Tottenham have been drawn away at Fulham, while Crystal Palace will travel to Championship Plymouth and Brentford are away at League Two side Newport County for ties played later this month.
