EFL Trophy semi-final draw: Who must Doncaster Rovers beat to get to Wembley?

Doncaster Rovers will have to beat the Football League Trophy favourites to secure only their second trip to Wembley but they have been handed a home tie to do it.

And although the draw for the last four has moved on from the days of area finals, the draw still split them along north/south lines.

That means Doncaster were paired with League One promotion hopefuls Stockport County, one of three teams still in it who have never won the competition before.

The Hatters are a best-priced 11/8 to win the trophy, with Doncaster 7/2 joint second favourites alongside Luton Town, who still have to negotiate Plymouth Argyle in the quarter-finals.

The winners of that tie will be at home to Northampton Town. The Cobblers and the Pilgrims have never lifted the trophy either.

Doncaster played in the 2007-08 League One play-off final at the recently rebuilt Wembley, their first competitive match at the ground.

They won the Football League Trophy the previous year at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

The ties are due to take place in the first week of March, with the final scheduled for April 12.
