The Blues' Academy side will take on the seven-time competition winners in a history-making third round clash after knocking out League One side Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night in a thrilling game played in front a bumper crowd at Hertingfordbury Park.
The young Blues were forced to come from behind to knock out Cambridge United in the first round and they were at it again against Rovers after going 2-0 down early on.
Two goals, however, from Finley Lynch brought them back to 2-2 before Archie O'Brien's effort put the Blues 3-2 in front, only for a late Rovers equaliser to then set up a tense period of extra-time.
